My new Seven RedSky with Grand Cru mid-reach calipers. Currently running 28c but room for 35c. Brakes feel great--running compressionless housing. I will admit I haven't ridden down hill in the rain yet. No huge descents around here unless I head to the White Mountains. I will try that this summer and report back. Hope I don't die!!
