    Deore are very good and great value. Never tried the others.

    The M615. Much, much better than the older XTs. I have both.

    +1 Cooldad. Never tried the others but I have 615s on my "good bike" and I love them. Great feel. True 1 finger braking. Totally reliable.

    M765 is a bit old? (2005-2010 ish) Very nice brakes, but why get something that is now 3 gens old?

    They were quite cheap on chain reaction. I have just ordered the deores tho. Only an extra £3 :D. Thanks for the advice everyone. can't wait till they get here then i have to do is fit them :?

    Wow, wonder which dusty box they got them from!

    Deore M615 is a lot of brake for little money
