As the title suggests, I'm wondering what the differences between brakes tagged as being XC or DH are.
I'm kinda assuming that DH brakes have better overall power and are less prone to overheating.
Are there any other main differences?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm a pretty light guy (~120lbs) and I do quite a bit of all mountain riding, including some long decents as well as proper DH courses. I'm wondering if I can get away with using XC brakes or even AM brakes for this or if I should just play it safe and use DH brakes like everyone else.
