I really enjoy my El Mariachi set up as a hybrid. Fun on the road!!! Really bummed I didn't go ahead and build up an upgraded hybrid w/:
- Niner carbon frameset (rigid carbon fork)
- XT 1x11 groupset with low Q crank
- non-tubeless rims
I'll get back to that eventually but the El Mariachi, not currently being ridden much, is set up with XT 1x10. With the power and modulation of wet discs, combined with 50mm tires that transfer greater braking resistance, I
really want a bigger front disc. The clutch-style rear derailleur eliminates most of the chain chatter.
That said you get used to the brakes you're using. To say otherwise is drinking the kool aid.
