    I will always suggest the Shigura setup. However, I would just order a new set of XT levers. Less flex, and a better lever than the M640

    Why Aren't There Better Shock Pumps?

    I spent like $25 for the Foundation version of the same digital pump everyone seems to have.

    While I certainly can't say I have tried everything, I don't know how I could like something better than my "Shigura" (MT7 calipers with 8100 levers) setup. And, as you said, replacement parts are cheap and plentiful.

    Short Crank Curious…

    I can't bring myself to spend that kind of coin on cranks. My current set of Shimano is only a few months old and already has several rock strikes.

    Tips and Tricks

    Depends, but once the rag is wet with coating, I just wipe it on. Ideally, you would start with a new build so you can coat each part as you go, but cleaning then coating seems to work just as well. I started using it on my frame, then tried it on my stanchions, and now, almost everything. Helps...

    Tips and Tricks

    Blowing the dust off this thread to add another tip After great results with Turtle Wax Hybride Solutions Ceramic spray on my autos, I started using it on my bikes. You can apply it to almost any clean surface (over the wrap, not before), and it makes later bike cleanups much easier. A little...

    I have no interest in the calipers, but am curious to try out the levers

    You would probably be fine if they are actually in stock. My problem was I had ordered a set of brakes, and various other items related to said brakes (shipping to the USA, and I wanted to get everything from one place). My ship date kept getting pushed back despite being told that my brakes...

    Same here. Currently running an XT shifter and cassette with a Deore derailleur. The main difference between the derailleurs is weight. Personally, I will take the small weight penalty to have the durability of a steel cage over an aluminum cage.
