I went Disc at front and canti (with high quality pads and long straddle cable for m=better modulation) on back. Works a treat.
I'd avoid BB7's. They're just a pain in the arse to adjust and keep there. They work when set up well, but you have to spend time with them.
I'd splash the cash and go for TRP Spyre's

Yeah, a bunch. My Hope Pro Evo 2 40t rear hub can take the M8000 XT 11-42 cassette no problem so I'm just doing a proper 'old and new bits on and old frame' build. Not sure on rims actually. I think I want silver ones. Might go vintage on that. Some Mavics or Sun's.
Not sure which drop bar shifterlevers will work with the 11speed XT if any. Paging @edscoble...
Yeah, need the stopping power and disc is pretty nice in the wet I've heard.
Which ones to get I don't know yet. Recommendations?
Looking at the BB7's. Good?
