Hi, need advice please. I'm about to get my LBS to start the build of my P5 Six and have a dilemma about whether to stick with the magura brakes. I have searched the official P5 thread but can't find anything on this.
My dilemma is that my current bike has a Di2 set up with shifters on both the brakes and bar ends and I love the ability to shift via the brake set up. I know that if I stick with magura then I lose this option unless I do the hack that is well documented in the P5 thread. The question is whether the performance of the magura outweighs the loss of the Di2. I know that those who have done the hack say it is likely it won't last long (neither will Di2 I guess) but have had my Di2 setup for 2 years without a hitch. I'm guessing the answer is one of personal preference but would appreciate the thoughts of those who have been through similar considerations.
Many thanks
