Hydraulic brakes aren't sciencey, it's just oil ina container that has a mechanical lever or pump that makes the space smaller and so puts pressure on the brake.

With those and di2 shifters (i.e. buttons), we could finally make handlebars that make sense from an ergonomic standpoint.

It's like God is operating the lever for you and you are plowing into a wall of soft cotton candy that tastes like Jessica Alba's pussy juice

Remember that we had mechanical to hydraullic adapters before hydraulic aero levers existed.

Well I know what I'm putting on my CX when I move to Ultegra hydraulics from my bb7s.

I used to ride a Kona Dew+, that had Shimano hydraulics and I've never liked any brakes since then.

>>1011480
yes, you are basically riding a horse.
renounce ye faith!

That would be salty milk and coins.

I always thought cross levers were for plebs who couldn't move to hoods without falling over

What use are they in cx

Who even rides on the tops?

People with poor bikefit and/or can't pedal over 200W.

It's a cyclocross bike, anon. It's not actually for riding. Its whole purpose is to give its owner an excuse to drink too much beer and be really fucking slow.

Do bike hydraulic brake work at -40? I would like them but I still want to be able to stop in the winter.

Some. Problems with this has been the primary reason that cable discs have been popular on fatbikes though.
