What's the existing rotor size? 203 or 200?

let you google that for me
200mm 6 bolt

1: No. Just push the pistons all the way back in, then pump the lever to reset clearance. Worst case if they've been bled to the max on the 1.8, you may need to ctrack the bleed nippl;e and vent a small amount of fluid to allow the pistons to retract enough.
2: In theory yes, providing you're using the same rotor diameter (203mm adaptors will not work with 200mm, and vice versa). However, the bike industry wouldn't surprise me if different brake manufacturers design their calipers for different tilt angles off the fork & over the rotor..... So probably safer to use matching mounts.

The hose should be the same for SLX and XT. Just use the banjo bolt from the XT calipers.

Levers and hoses are identical (although SLX levers delete the stroke adjust screw), so just swap the calipers.

The stroke adjust screw can be replaced with a Philips or Allen head M4 screw. The interface is identical to XT aside from the stroke adjust screw being a two pin head rather than Philips head.
Not that I care, I have never felt the need to use the stroke adjust, so SLX levers are awesome for a hack like me.
Hey @birddog69, are you selling the levers at all? My husband busted one recently

Hey peeps, anyone have one of these. Seems a pretty simple setup.

Does ohlins suspension live up to the hype? Any hidden secrets I should know?

Yeah, upside down suss is the future. Imagine a suspension design that uses gravity to stop dust and dirt fucking your seals and lowers

The forks I'm looking at are conventional.
I'm a huge USD fan! I've never owned any, but always wanted the USD 125mm shivers. If fox knew what was good for them they would launch those again!

Unless buying a bike with conventional forks, any bike I build from now on will have USD forks, whether Intend or whoever.

Yes and more no.... 10-sp, both road & MTB, plus road 11-sp. use a common pull ratio, however the sprocket spacing is closer on 11-sp, which means the shift stroke is also shorter. So you can use a "10-sp." derailleur with 11-sp. shifters and cassette or vice versa, but to get the correct incremental shift pull the shifter must match the cassette.
The Duckmeister

If you have a 10-sp. shifter, you can only use a 10-sp. cassette.

if USD forks are the preferred configuration then aren't they RWU and the current RWUs are USD ?
