Great price for a set of decent brakes. Just brought the set below (deores) for a similar price.

Excellent brakes compared to Avids, easy to bleed/service aswell

When I cycled (currently cannot due to health) I owned Hope, Magura, Avid, Hayes.. Shimano are great brakes but I never had an issue with Avids. In fact they were my favourites and very reliable IME. Even the Juicy still stands up to modern day competition.

Yeah I brought the deores to replace some avids. Why you need to put cup washers on a brake calliper so it can move in every direction is beyond me.

ooh, very interested to replace my Avids like above, anyone know whether it is worth replacing the rotors as well?

Nope if your discs are straight & true one less expense but the difference between Avids & Shimano is like a comment one reviewer said changing them was the difference between "night & day" and it is true Shimano are brill & these are an excellent price you may need to replace the mounts if the new calipers don't line up with your discs but maybe wise to use the Shimano mounts.
The rotors shimano zee/slx are really cheap on.ribble cycles.
These slx are supurb, so sharp and effective, just don't pull on too hard the first time you use them, or you.ll be over the handlebars ..
I now have on both my bikes having recently upgrading a new bike with these m675 for an upgrade cost of £20 having sold on the m615 Deore as new for a good price

I got the xt breakers for just below 70 quid. Not had time to fit them yet but really looking forward to it. It was from one of the auction sites and one off, hence didn't post it here
