I use deore lx - general mid-level shimano.
Second hand I reckon you can get a bit more bang for your buck.
In my experience decent pads are where you should not skimp.
I bought some bike-shop cartridge pads when in a tight spot and they lasted approx 2 weeks each pair, and didn't really slow me much whilst they lasted. -

I was looking into carbon twill fabric to make some discs... it's bloody expensive to get enough layers to laminate up.
Even the carbon / kevlar stuff is costly.. and thats before you add cost of epoxy and the rest......it's roughly 200gsm, and you've got 5-8 layers per side, it's not going to be that light anyway...
Has anyone weighed the estate agent signs?

I bought 2 of these lidl pulleys sets. They are definitely worth the moneys.
What about the rest of the cycling stuff - any merino?
