Nice ! I've never swapped one on that model. That will make it easier... apart from the reassembly jigsaw.Seriously though, these deore xt's don't have a circlip...
Yep, I assume the circlip is to hold the piston in..?Nice ! I've never swapped one on that model. That will make it easier... apart from the reassembly jigsaw.
You're not mad, the XT's don't have a circlip. XTR levers have a circlip holding the piston in and they are really fiddly to remove and put back.Seriously though, these deore xt's don't have a circlip...

Oh, I just swore profusely every time I dropped that fucking little plastic bit, or the free stroke screw, or both.Yep, I assume the circlip is to hold the piston in..?
On these ones the bit in the blue circle hinges on the part circled orange. In the blue circled bit you can see one of the "hinge pins" was broken so I drilled and put a metal one in.
That blue circled piece is what holds the piston in by way of the "free stroke screw".
A vise is a must when assembling that part, as you need 3 hands to push the piston in whilst simultaneously fitting the 2 plastic bits and screwing the free stroke screw in.

See if these people here have anything, they usually carry weird sized cup seals.Yah, they look like hydraulic U-cup seals. We use them at work which is why I was thinking I might be able to get some locally quicker than an online order.
Thanks for the offer, I will pull mine out this weekend I think and see what I can find through our suppliers.
You're in good company here thenThat is definitely debatable
I was starting to question myself tooYou're not mad, the XT's don't have a circlip. XTR levers have a circlip holding the piston in and they are really fiddly to remove and put back.

Funnily enough those guys were the supplier.See if these people here have anything, they usually carry weird sized cup seals.
Get the 6 new !!! Then you have warranty and some updated features not available on the 5 - I have the 5 and am trying hard to justify a new 7 - thought my 5 finally died after 3.5 years but did a reset and still going great so no new one yet for meWasn't sure if I should post this in the garmin watch feature thread or here. I'm looking to dip my toes into a fitness tracker/ gps watch as after Christmas I'm the only one in my household without something like this.
I'm looking at a Fenix that can do maps and music, a new 7 is way out of the budget so was looking at cheap used to try things out first. I have seen a used 5X plus for around $250 which seems OK but due to the size probably wont be an everyday watch. I was also looking at used 6's but the price goes up and have realised I can get a new 6 pro from Amazon for $577 delivered, which I could probably stretch to.
Any suggestions?
