Disc brakes, of the hydro kind make a huge difference over other brake types. The shimano deore brakes i'm running on both of those bikes are so smooth, so consistant its silly, they're pretty powerfull too for me, but i'm only light
I'm not running SPD pedals atm, i've got azonic X magnesium CNC and azonic X-DH alu CNC pedals on those
I did use SPDs before though, and they were very good, never really used them on decents though, always felt a little scetchy

Mmmm, non-production model marzocchi MX Pro SL forks
