awesme Posted May 18, 2012 Share PS: this was my Baddddd, meant hub. and ye I know the ducat's have the rotor bolted to the rim with the caliper on the inside. My might be red, but sadly not a ducati, well except when I loose good sense and go down a hill to fast, then it feels like my own little ducati G The OP mentioned they his rotors looked to be attached to his rims, I asked if they were not in fact connected to his hubs, then he posted a pic and I confirmed they were indeed bolted to his hubs. Hence why I said go back and reread, capisce? Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted May 18, 2012 Share You won't be disappointed, just don't do metal pads, the 1-20 frame does not seem to agree with it. Seriaaaas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz Addict Posted May 26, 2012 Share Nice!! Congrats if you enjoy them half as much as I do your in for a hell of a ride!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted May 26, 2012 Share and we had a very nice winter afternoon ride @ the spruit... and by the way awesme nails it on the downhills I would never say that his brakeset upgrade was even optional nor will it be wasted. I'm now convinced, more than ever, that the XT/2012 brakes are way better than my Avid XX's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted May 27, 2012 Share Hi TheV, They def nice... very sharp (money well spend) shifters are next! and as you saw, I don't mind letting it go on those downhills, biggest thing, keep looking well ahead and have the bike move below you.

covie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Ok specifically as follows:Deor xt bl-m785 brake lever and calipersSm-rt81 rotors,203mm front and 180 back.Just remember you will need new shimano spacers to move from the 160/180mm the bike comes with. Total overkill, 160 / 160 is fine for 99% of 26" XC/trail usage, and 180/160 is fine for 99% 29'er XC/trail usage, anything more than that at the back your just going to lock up the whole time. Especially the rear and that has a negative imapct on your riding and destroys trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted May 27, 2012 Share Guys I'm 70kg, went with XT 2012 M785 front and rear, 160mm Ice Tech RT86 rotors, AWESOME is the only thing to be said. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
