Apex1 Mechanical v Rival1 Hydraulic

Post by dlovett »

Hello,

What are the pros and cons between these two setup, if all the other components on a bike are identical?

From the Apex 1 Mechanical, is it work and extra £200 to have Apex1 Hydaulic brakes? Is the Rival1 setup worth and extra £400 from the Apex1 Mechanical?

It's for 90% Urban riding with the odd ITT a couple of times a year perhaps.

Thanks
