    Putting my Avids in the bin and buying some Shimano Deore was the best upgrade I made.

    I would keep an eye on the prices of SLX M675 for a little while, the impending M7000 will probably help devalue any remaining stock…

    I got these and new discs at the same time, they had a deal when I bought mine so it’s worth shopping about.

    Like cookeaa said, keep an eye on the prices of all the Shimano brakes as they do get deals at times.

    ill keep checking on prices tho.
