What brake cable (or kit) do I need to do this?

I will have to bleed it right?

if its mechanical it wont need bleeding but I dont think there is a mechanical XTR brake so you will need longer hoses and some fluid and you will have to bleed it

As for oil just got to local motor factor and get some dot 4 or dot 5.1 brake fluid

shimano use mineral oil not dot fluid so don't use dot fluid - you will ruin the brakes

and you will need a little yellow goodridge tab for extra too cool for school points.

You'll probably need a new olive and insert too.

Do you mean hose?

If you do then get some compatable goodridge hoses and a small bottle of mineral oil from CRC and the like?

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=20424 - connectors - not cheap - check the fit your version of XTR?
