Hmm let's see.

Easier to fix in the boonies
Cheaper to buy
Cheaper to fix
You can get levers, cables, housing at any Mom and Pop shop. Even if they only sell Comfort bikes and Beach cruisers. Try that with hydros
No toxic fluid to spill or leak
Never have to bleed them (though that's not that big a deal)
Has adequate power for 98% of the riders on this Forum

Not bad for a short list. On a side note Hayes Hydraulics smoke Hopes, thought you should know.

cant spend 170 on bb7's, buy the 6" bb5's. avids brakes are by far the easiest of any brake to adjust that i have seen

BS hopes have so much more power and they actually have modulation unlike hayes. so what if theyre expensive, you pay for what you get. now im not saying the hayes are a bad brake at all, im just saying hopes are better.
