Probably a sensible choice . The Deores are amazing for the money , they ' ll blow you away . Ask the shop to demonstrate the reach adjustment for you , which requires a little Allen key under the lever to adjust . I wind mine all the way out and then back in one turn , it ' s entirely personal preference but adjusting this transforms the feel of the brake . Have a read up on brake maintenance cleaning the caliper pistons etc to prolong the life of these new brakes . Also consider purchasing a bleed kit down the line if you ' re a greasy fingers type . Shimanos are very easy to bleed compared to Avids , and whilst they don ' t often require bleeding the fluid will become contaminated , so it ' s good to flush the fluid once a season or so in my experience , I tend to ride in all weathers so these sorts of things are more important .
