I've got an old set of Saint M810 brakes. They work okay but the older style levers just feel weird compared to everything else.

They are also a total ball ache to bleed with their open reservoir design, no nice bleed port and funnel here!

Can i just swap the levers for something else Deore levers are £30 a pop on CRC.

They were good brakes when they were nicely set up it would be a shame to just ditch them.

I ran mine with XTR levers with no issues

Aaron Gwin was doing the same for a bit too. I brake WAY more than him though

I think the slx have servo wave but the saint and xtr do not, worth looking in to.

Not sure why you struggle with the bleeding on the older style levers. The process is basically the same, except you just take the cover off rather than faff about with a silly funnel.
