Thinking of swapping my Avid BB7s on my Genesis Day One to Hope V-Twins - the Avids just don't have that rock solid reliable braking feel that I get from the Hopes on my other bikes plus I can't get them so they reliably don't rub without giving so much gap that the brake lever goes to the bar. Hydraulics have that nice feel of once they start to bite, the lever doesn't move further, you just squeeze it harder to brake more. Can't go full Hope because the Day One has drop bars with the Alfine drop bar shifter so I need a cable to hydraulic conversion
So the question is do I need new rotors as well or can I use the Hopes on the Avid rotors? Any other things I should look out for?
