I am building a bike... it is kind of a cycle-cross style. I have a MTB crank I can use... I was wondering if there would be a big difference between this and a road bike crank? I am not a racer I do it more for fitness and fun. Thanks :)

...any good...? ...compared to the ordinary wired ones, performance wise? And how much do you think these brakes usually cost on the market? Only thing I know about the brakes is that they're made by Shimano, nothing else.
