Not really suitable for the weather where i live, i have sintered now but they squeel like a pig after a few runs.

Another question, could i put a twin pot X0 trail caliper on the single pot lever?


My standard XT Icetech pads and rotors are silent?


My old saint brakes were flawless no matter how long i rode for or what the weather was like. Im not really impressed with my X0's


Anyone want to swap their saints for my x0s? Mine are really good i promise

That's what you get for running XC brakes on a DH bike. I would just get the whole new Trail setup and be done. Dub post.

I am not impressed by the new XO trails. Rode three different sets last week and they weren't significantly better than my CR's. Shimano's brakes are far superior at the moment.

Were they bled? I had to do my front twice to get it dialed. F'ing Avid.

The first two sets where in dire need of a bleed. The last set felt fine but...unless you install, maintain, and run something yourself - it's hard to tell. Particularly with the avid stuff.

I have two sets of Elixer Cr's and really like them. Great value for the price since they include rotors, and by adjusting the pad contact, you can dial them in on the fly. But they are finicky F*s and need at least a lever bleed every once in a while. Hate that.

I have not touched my two sets except for the initial bleed. Took me a time or two to get the codes dialed but they were money after that.

uhoh, anti-meme legislation has been forced through by the dictatorship. Beware KTM Rider, least CR will lay down his hammer and sickle across your back.
