Urgent question - Shimano XT brakes...

[Maris]

Hi,

Im trying to get some stuff in before xmas including some xt brakes, but there are 2 types, the m765 and m775 and i cant find out anywhere what the difference is.
Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Maris.

I'm pritty sure the 65 is just the leaver and the 75 is caliper

The 775 looks like it has a completely different lever design. And the caliper also looks different.

i believe the 775 is the new generation lever, ive had a ride on a few bikes with them, they feel really really nice and have very good stopping power,

I got the 765 and i think the others are the new generation,the two deifferent numbers would probably for dual control and standard brakes(not sure).
You will love them,so simple, so powerful,and so much modulation!

765 = old
775 = new 2008 with the swervo (sp) levers... apparently better than 07 XTR, as can be seen on CRC with the price premium over XTR
