Review: Bontrager G5 Team Issue Tires
Assegai, dhf, and dhr2's averaged to about $65 all in a tire out of Europe, with the only catch being I bought a couple extra and sold them for my cost on marketplace/pb buysell. I don't know why they are so expensive in NA, but there are other options out there like Chain Reaction and Bike24. I'll pay a bit more to support local business' but the selection is not great and prices are double.

Review: Shimano BR-MT420 4-Piston Brakes
These brakes came on my Devinci Troy. They stopped me just fine but I could not set up the brake with the shifter to be ergonomically friendly with the matchmaker clamp and the left conflicted with my preferred dropper lever position. I was also squeezing down on my middle finger during hard braking 1 finger braking. Would recommend going to the 520's or better or better levers if they came with your bike. I do not notice any bite point issues with the new levers.

Review: Shimano BR-MT420 4-Piston Brakes
I have 420 calipers but replaced the 4100 levers with deore servo wave levers. I don't find there is a wandering bite point with this set up. Honestly, the levers suck and find it an odd recommendation vs the 520's for a bit more.

@airdonut41: I have 420's but upgraded to deore levers. If there's a bite point issue now, I don't notice it. The 520's are probably best Shimano bang for your buck as they come stock with the 2 finger lever. I didn't enjoy the ergos of the 4100 levers at all, although they work.
