Hydros can kink, or the line can snap......and its expensive for something you dont need. If you DH, or FR where you need precise braking, then I can see it. But, just to have a set of easy mechs that you can repair yourself, dont need a $20 bleed, just a $3 cable, are much easier. DONT get the Hayes mechs though, I had to swap my front Avid for a Hayes, and o my god. I can jam 4 fingers on the break lever, and yank, and barely stop.......takes me about 10 feet. Avids setup right are great brakes.
