New bike is on way. Can't work out why they've specced Deore brakes on it, but figured I'd give them a little test and probably end up upgrading to my current XT with icetech setup. The bike has internal routing, so:
How much drama is it to switch out the brakes, or alternatively is it possible to whip off the callipers and levers and use the existing hoses? Assuming the hoses fit both sets of brakes, remove calliper and replace, remove lever and replace then bleed? Sounds simple enough.
My current XT brakes are M785, the new ones are whatever 2017 model Deore is.
