Genesis or Spa?

Whatever you go for, my personal preference would be hydraulic brakes and dynamo hub. Spa wont have a problem doing the dynamo hubs.

Totally agree with dynamo hub but good quality cable discs do work well in my opinion if they are done right. Never had an issue with mine in operating or changing pads. If you're touring and break a cable it's a simple replacement, hydraulic not so much I'd think.

I've never used hydraulic disk brakes but have mechanical discs on both CdF and tadpole bent and would go mechanical agaon. They work well and are very easy to maintain.

I've had all 3 and tbh they all have there plus points and minus points. For me I want good stopping power when im loaded and prefer hydraulic brakes and wont be going to hotter climates that may affect them. TBH ive only had brakes fail once and that was cable failure in the shifter.
