  1. Hi there. I need some advice please. I have Shimano XTR brakes which I have bled (flushed front and rear and added new mineral oil) but it still feels spongy. I have new pads at the rear and measured both the rotors at 1.65mm. Left the bike upright for about a day with the screws open on the levers to let any air bubbles out. Topped up with fluid. Also tried inserting the fluid from the bottom and the top, but neither seems to work. Not sure what to do anymore. Can anyone perhaps assist please? TIA
  2. Hey guys, Random problem, my Specialized shoes and XTR pedals creates an awful lot of squeaking, to the point where I'm considering chopping the shoe sides away to minimize contact with the pedals. The sound it seems are all from where the rubber on the sides of the cleats touches the pedal surfaces next to the clips. Anyone else have this problem or a good solution for it - before I take my dremel to my shoes? My Shimano SPD shoes did not do this - so I'm used to a pretty quiet ride, and especially at 4:30am when it's just me on a climb, the sound just seem amplified.
  3. Which one of these 2 are the lightest? Thoughts on both sets?
  4. Hi guys, I need to buy replacement pads for my XT brakeset. Can anyone recommend a durable metal or sintered set? From what I can see, CWC has the genuine metal pads with cooling fins for R399 and a couple of other cheaper options: RESPONSE SINTERED DISC PADS (XT/XTR) R170 RESPONSE SEMI METAL DISC PADS (XT/XTR) R170 SHIMANO XTR 980 DISC PADS METAL (G04TI) R299 Does anyone have experience with these or could you recommend another option? I'm not even certain whether the cheaper two sets above fit the M8000 calipers. Thanks for your help
  5. This is my second set of XTR pedals that broke like this. Pretty much the end of your ride when this happens. Not very confidence inspiring. Anyone else seeing this on these pedals and can it be repaired?
  6. Hi there everyone! I want to upgrade my current mtb groupset and yes as always weight plays a big role. Currently running Shimano XT 1x11 and Simano XT brakes. Best way to upgrade? *XTR *XO1 *XX1 Please share thoughts and is it worth spending that extra money for better groupset?
  7. I have this theory that if your disc brakes work, don't touch them. Other than change pads, I don't let a bikeshhop touch my brakes. My XTR rear brake started feeling as if there's a little bubble in the line the last couple of rides, and especially when on a long dh section, the brake will pull a lot closer to the bar than normal. And so I did the unthinkable and took my bike to my LBS and with a heavy heart I asked them to bleed my super crisp feeling XTR rear brake - only to sort out the 'when hot' problem. I pick up my bike today and worst fear realized, my brake has no more kick back. If you pull any Shimano brake and it has a swift spring back to it's original position. That is no more the case, and mine slowly/sloth-ly moves back to its original position. It is still potent, but there's no modulation, because there's no kickback, so the brake stays where it is, and if you pull too far, wheel just locks up - and very abruptly. LBS is stumped, I'm furious and also stumped. They have no idea why its acting like this or what could go wrong. Anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? My brake's character is just not what it used to be, and I won't attempt to manual sections like that, and if a Tektro Auriga felt like that, I would still suspect something went wrong.
  8. Since posting my recent acquisition of the new Di2 XTR on another thread, there have been a number of calls for an honest "commoners" review. Hopefully I can do it justice. Here goes... Click here to view the article
