I'm currently looking at getting a new bike for some TT's and Triathlons this summer and one of the bikes near the top of my list is a Merida Reacto, the only thing putting me off is the direct mount brakes (BR-5810) I don't know anyone who has them and although on a short test ride they feel fine and my LBS assures me they are fine I'm not usually one for going for something so different.
There doesn't seem to be much advice online, I assume that's because they aren't very popular and this in itself puts me off a bit, it's a real shame as apart from the brakes the bike itself felt great.
Anyone got any experience or opinions?
