They did them for the last gen of non servo wave and first gen servo wave brakes. Luckily they bleed 100% normal just have really long levers basically

Anybody here have experience or even heard of the old XT Dual Control levers? Not the ones with the built in shifter remote but the ones where the levers were the shifters themselves?

Got asked to bleed my brothers friends brakes and they threw my ass off so badly for a second. Never seen anything like it before on hydraulic flat bar brakes. Sure roadies employ something similar but it got me for a second just on the pure level of oddity.

I didn't know they did those for hydraulic brakes. Thought the dual control levers we're all cable.

they did both
i even have a set of M800 saint ones in a box somewhere
my understanding is they make no sense until you use them, then it's like a "why the F*** did i ever not use these" moment

There was LX, Hone, Saint, XT, and XTR versions of Dual Control levers. Only LX, XT, and XTR came in cable variants though.

The average temperature inside a non-airconditioned house today was 90 degrees. So even when I was trying to escape the triple digit heat it was still balls hot.

I feel your pain, it was fine in the UK without air-conditioning before this global warming bullshit, now I am seriously considering having a system installed.

Sounds dreadful. Except for the lack of tourists.
