Spares availability is already an issue on the XTs. I've already had the rear brake (2012 XTs) replaced under warranty a few months back, the front brakes are now up for warranty replacement as well but Shimano will only have the parts (lever and calliper) available around mid December. What happens is that the piston inside the lever gets stuck which leaves you with a wheel that wont turn. Bleeding the brake only fixes it for a couple weeks before it starts acting up again. Including myself I know 5 people that this has happened to. LBS told me the other day that there was a fault on the production line. I'm not sure how true this is though.

I'm not sure if he actually said it (as most quotes on the internet are labelled with famous figures/authors) but I found it interesting. http://25.media.tumblr.com/23c1f7e1635bdea7ffc67eb1526712d2/tumblr_mhqqkti0id1r5vbjvo1_1280.png

If they fall on an open stretch of road the rotor wouldn't be hot. It would only be an issue on a descent or when passing through towns where there are lots of corners. The rest of the time there will be enough wind to cool them down as that is how they are designed, dissipating heat efficiently in order to maximise brake performance. So in my eyes it isn't an issue. I'd rather be burnt by a sterile object than skid across tar or be stabbed by sharp greasy chain rings.

Nope, that is at least 15-20km away.

Problem is that you shouldn't assume that you'll be safe just because you have a weapon on you. Although the odds are in your favour, what happens if the gun jams when you try and fire it? You're completely fooked!

I drive past there daily, can't say that I've ever spotted it. Not that I was looking though...

Close to home being 2km from my door step. I assume that the 2 incidents were solo riders?

That is a meneer of a climb.
