The Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100/BR-M8100 rear hydraulic disc brake and lever in black are engineered for high - performance braking across various MTB riding styles. This set comes with a pre - bled brake lever and disc brake caliper. Key features include adjustable reach, a post - mount caliper type, hydraulic lever actuation, and it's designed for right - hand use. The 1700mm hydraulic hose uses mineral oil, and the metallic pad compound ensures reliable stopping power. Rotors are not included, and the contact point is non - adjustable.
Using this Shimano Deore XT disc brake is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your mountain bike. Adjust the reach according to your hand size for a comfortable grip. When you're riding, just squeeze the right - hand brake lever to stop. Remember, the brakes are pre - bled, so you don't have to worry about that initially. But if you notice a loss in braking performance over time, it might be time to check the hydraulic fluid level. Use only mineral oil to top it up. For maintenance, clean the brake pads and calipers regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid getting the pads wet or dirty, as this can reduce their effectiveness. Also, store your bike in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion on the brake components.
