I really like my new Lx brakes. Got them as I really liked my XT that I gave to my mate as I didn’t like DC levers…
Had a nice ride in the Pentlands on Friday. Good power, good modulation and I think I’ll keep them and sell my Magura Louise brakes.
Shimano should supply an IS to PM adapter, as the caliper is for Post Mount, but with the adapter You should be able to put in on a IS mount.
I`ve got a 180 disc on the front and it does the job fine. I am quite heavy so need some extra stopping power even doing xc only. Would imagine that 160 on the front if You’re light would do the job.
My friend has Lx on one bike and Stroker Rydes on the other. She prefers Strokers, but her Lx were probably still not bedded in properly.
