Installing Shimano XTR Brakes on my XC Superbike Project

Decided to swap out the stock SRAM Level TL brakes for XTR M-9100 2-Pistons. I've never really enjoyed the feel of the SRAMs (although that may have something to do with the cheap Jagwire pads I was using on them) and I love the Shimano lever shape because I have small, dainty hands (unfortunate, I know). Install was smooth beyond tearing one of my grips and having to MacGyver an internal routing tool. Love the new brakes, now it is time to shed some serious grams with a new saddle, seatpost, and pedals! 0:00 Intro 3:04 Removing SRAM Brakes 4:24 Weight Comparison 5:00 XTR Install 10:35 New Grips! 11:53 Total Weights 12:15 Glamour Shots 12:32 Test Ride & First Impressions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Favorite Tools!
