Just ordered a set of black m785 xt brakes (in stock again now). Paid for them with paypal and somehow have ony paid £105 rather than £135.
Me too.

Always keen to point out a good deal

I ordered some too (thanks obg) and was also charged £105 from Paypal. Order appeared on Rose bikes account the next day, after I'd contacted them to ask where it was. Email this morning from customer services said they'd be dispatched tomorrow. Hopefully before too many people take advantage and they realise their mistake...

Yup, looks like things are even cheaper than before! I'd been holding off buying the xt brakes, partly because I couldnt decide what colour I wanted.
Just picked up a set of xtr m988 trail brakes with finned pads for £222 delivered, bargain!

Anyone know how to bleed these? do i need the funnel thing? Re changing hoses over and shortening them - is it a case of pump pistons out a bit, undo bolts and swap over, then push pistons back in?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Anyone up for selling a pair. Maybe you got caught up in the frenzy and dont actually need them?
Send me an email @ worldeliteAThotmailDOTcom

cruzheckler, after reading the shimano docs I think the bleed funnel is nice to have but you can do it without, but the funell shouddl help get the last bubbles out, so may be a bit squishy if you haveno funnel. Not messed with mine yet since shortening hoses, back is def. squishier than front, but both are like dropping a big anchor.

Ok so I got these, and theyre great but I must've fluffed getting the seal right on the front as when I turn the bike upside down I lose fluid and then the front stops working. So I'll try again but need more fluid, do I need that yellow hopper or can they be bled just using a bottle?

So Rose are now out of stock. Can anyone recommend anywhere else I can get these brakes without paying twice the Rosebikes price?

Superfical
If you mean the XT brakes, the Black version (as pictured) are still available 22.56pm 06/10/2011. Go back to each brake, front and back, click on colour, change to black (from silver), status changes to available.They are excellent, black looks good, there are pics of the black version in the thread somewhere, I posted a pic of mine for sure. The black bits are the levers and part of the body, the reservoir cap is still silver/chrome.
Good Luck

I want the black ones anyway, but Rose don't have them in stock. I emailed them 19th Sept and they confirmed that they had no more front brakes in either colour (at that time they still had rear brakes in stock), and wouldn't be getting any more stock until early 2012.
Now it just says 'article in 1 week available'. Underneath it says 'article available in biketown' which refers to their physical shop but I don't think you can order them.

Couple of questions on these if I may...
Is the short lever long enough for X0 twisties? Don't have much option on inboard/outboard
I have Hope ISO > Postmount adaptors for my disk size (185/160) - should these work OK? No big deal if they don't I suppose, but it'd be nice to order all at once.

Can't see why no, there nothing inboard of your grip is there, and most people run their brakes 2"+ away from their grips now.

Seems to be random, I've got a +20mm addapter form somewhere thats nearer +30mm so puts callipers way too high, but most combinations I've tried seem to work.
Can someone please explain to me exactly how to get this £10 facebook voucher?

You need apps to work I think so may depend on how you connect to Facebook.
I did it on a normal PC, friended them and an app popped up with a code.
I've cut'n'pasted this out to a txt file but I've yet to use it in angerPosted 7 months ago # -
It took a while for me to find it.
"Like" them on Facebook, then go to their page. In the left hand column, click where it says 'Gutschein' (google tells me this translates to 'Voucher' - makes sense). Click OK to add the app, it'll give you a code. Worked well for me.

Is it a one time use?
Posted 7 months ago # -
I ordered a set of brakes with ice tech rotors on Wednesday evening and the website still says processing. Everything said it was in stock when I ordered, is this normal or are they not going to turn up for a while?
Posted 7 months ago # -
I got an email saying mine were dispatched this morning (I ordered black ones on Thursday last week).
Posted 7 months ago # -
Mine arrived yesterday. Ca[quote]me with the finned pads too. Should think any one else who's waiting won't have to for long.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Are most people running shifters inboard or outboard of these brakes?
Posted 7 months ago # -
outboard
Posted 7 months ago # -
Are the levers not too short?
Posted 7 months ago # -
That DHL tracker thing has me hypnotised. Can't remember the last time I watched a parcel so closely.
They're almost here if anybody's interested

I've always run my levers really far inboard, I had a right pain getting mine set up correct with dropper lever on LH side, even with XTR shifters that can be adjusted sidewyas, Ive now got one lever outboard and one inboard, but it works for me

My rear brake arrived yesterday, still waiting for front.
Came with those finned pads too, which I wasn't expecting. They'll have to go back in the parts bin until holiday time methinks. Superstar sintered ordered.Posted 7 months ago # -
oops read it wrong - brakes closest to grips
Posted 7 months ago # -
Are the finned pads a bit soft for winter? Is worth getting sintered like Ecky-Thump is doing and saving these til spring.
