Key features include adjustable reach, a post - mount caliper, hydraulic lever actuation, and metallic pad compound.

This left - hand brake lever has no adjustable contact point and does not include a rotor.
Using this Shimano Deore XT disc brake is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your mountain bike. You can adjust the reach of the brake lever to suit your hand size. When you want to stop, simply squeeze the left - hand brake lever gently. The hydraulic system will transfer the force to the brake caliper, which then presses the metallic pads against the rotor (not included) to slow down your bike. For maintenance, check the hydraulic fluid level regularly. Since it uses mineral oil, make sure to use the right type when refilling. Keep the brake pads clean and replace them when they're worn out. Avoid getting water or dirt on the brake components as it can affect performance. And if you notice any issues like reduced braking power, it's a good idea to have a professional bike mechanic take a look.
