I had Hayes Stroker Ryde brakes as my first ever set of disc calipers. They were a wee bit finicky to set up without rubbing but otherwise worked well.

I used them for some slushy and salty winter riding then put the bike away until spring, not thinking about what the salt would do to the brakes. By spring the brakes were seized up and I couldn't get them unseized. Replaced with Shimnao SLX and the knowledge that they may need to be serviced if I ride in the winter.
