It's all just so personal with stoppers isn't it?
I was advised to try Magura MT7s from a friend recovering the use of this arms after a C-spine injury, he found they had 'the most power for the least effort'
I found this true and the application of the clamp to the rotor really jived with me. A lot less _on/off_ than typical Shimano yet more confidence inspiring than a _sram dish sponge_.
The issue was the levers. I found myself not a fan of the feel, material choices, durability, bleed porting or even the look / industrial design. Having a real love for Shimano brakes and the wanting to match the group for which I already had m9000 cranks, mech, chain and originally cassette (OneUp'd to 11-45) I purchased some M9000 trail levers and cut the MT7 levers loose.
I wouldn't ascribe magical powers to the hacked setup but I did immediately have the ability to cast spells on forest gnomes causing them to burst into chorus, have won the lottery 52 weeks in a row and last month I cracked the sky with a wink and a nod. Probably unrelated... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience)
