I have a new set of wheels that I'm setting up and it is my first time doing so with disk brakes and SRAM XDR.
The current rotors are within spec but have a slight bend and rub, so I want to put new rotors on the new wheels. I'm shopping for SRAM Force 1x center lock 160mm and there is a huge selection. I gather that the Shimano and SRAM are interchangeable? How is the performance? How far down market can you go and still feel confident in the brakes? These are expensive, more per rotor than I pay for my M3!
What about tools? I'm swapping the cassette over from the stock wheelset. Is the tool the same as the one used for the rotor lock ring? I'd rather not keep running out to a shop to buy tools to complete the job.
TIA for the input.
