I think Sram's hydro are the worst ****ing thing ever. I wish they'd just fix them so they'd stop sucking so much.

However, I expected more power than rim brakes but that does not appear to be the case.

Same here, I've got Red AXS Hydro on 2 bikes and once dialed in have had no issues. Consistent stopping, no squeals when dry, and no FD issues. It's definitely finicky to set up but once dialed, it's no different than any other group. Discs all suck in my mind and are definitely more of a pain than rim, but these have worked well
