Been thinking about swapping the Elixir CR's on my Yeti 575 over to Shimano XT/XTR brakes as I'm currently running a bunch of spacers under the CPS bolts of Elixir calipers so they clear the spiders of the Shimano rotors. Wifes bike has SLX brakes so the swap would standardise everything a little better.
So the question is, assuming same rotors, are XTR brakes (M975) XC specific or are they as powerful as XT (M775) brakes. Reason I ask is XT's appear to have slightly larger larger calipers than the XTR's.
