Shimano's Refocused 2012 Deore XT Group Review
I'm already riding the above 2012 XT brakes........
They are incredible value for the $'s, they match the performance of Trail XTR's........
The power/modulation of new generation Shimano brakes remind me of excellent brakes of back in the day ie. Hope 4 pots circa 04 or Shimano 4 Pots from the same era.....except these are lighter.
For most terrain you will be able to go down a size in rotors, they're that good!

Prototype 9 - 36 tooth Cassette Gearing - First Look
18 months ago I modded an XTR 9 speed cassette to run a 11-39t combination using Action Tecs Ti 39t cog running XT/XTR 9speed derailuers without issue and teamed this up with a 28t front single ring from www.widgit.com.au for go anywhere gearing up to 30kmh pedable top end.
From my experience I know that a wide ratio cassette is a winner although the biggest cog has to be 39t to compensate for the old 22t granny.....
