Jan 19, 2017XT lever, XTR caliper GOODRIDGE hose
$25 GBPSurplus to current requirements so offering,
Hydraulic front brake set up
XT BL-M775 right hand lever
75 cm Goodridge hose (plain grey)
XTR BR-M975 calliper
I've had these since 2012 on my hardtail Its a medium frame running them from 750mm bars to Fox 120mm travel forks.
Quite frankly the only reason I'm getting rid of them is I've now got SLX's on my other bikes, and these callipers are the only remaining ones that take the old pads..
The rear left hand set developed a leak in the calliper seal, so I've passed them on to a mate who thought it might be worth stripping them best of luck with that I thought. :/.
I've probably got a couple of sets of Clark's pads around which I'd throw in..
postage included...

Jul 26, 2016Go Outdoors DOOOONE fatty
$350 GBPFor sale or exchange for Marin Pine trail 650+ or similar (with cash)
Time has come to move on from the fatty trial..
Bought earlier this year to give Fat bikes a try from local Go Outdoors.
Reason, I just get too many pinch flats and haven't mastered either running it toobless, or repairing those (not quite) big (enough?) tubes.
Some 'upgrades'
Original cable calipers replaced by new Shimano SLX (rear) and ancient XT levers through Goodridge hose to an early XTR caliper up front.
It's on it's third chain, about 60 kilometres ago..
Chain rings - third granny, second big(ger) ring..both second user steel,
I've re-greased the BB bearings, but they could really do with being replaced (with something slightly better.)
Would include the gravity dropper, and the rack etc.
simply because they're secure and getting them off would be a faff.
I can leave the Wellgo flatties on if required, cos I normally ride with clips.
I'd also include the 4 or so tubes, which I've repaired with varying levels of success..
I bought it (the bike) because although cheap and cheerful the hubs are 195 rear and 150 front, the frame is geometrically good,
and the headtube will take a tapered (and therefore Bluto) fork.
To be fair I've had some great times on it..
and it's not in new condition..
nothing serious but the chainstay has some damage where I've suffered serious chain suck in the granny ring...
but I fancy something new..or rather different,
I'm thinking of trying a Marin Pine Trail 27.5+ rigid, or Charge cooker with front sus forks.
so would be open to trade (and would throw in some cash..)
