• I've swapped to some sram Guide 4pots that I picked up cheap on crc a while back. Not quite £20 cheap but they were pretty bargainous.

  • Slx brakes and now SRAM? What am I missing here? There's low level sram which runs mineral oil instead of DOT, but it's not clear what's being swapped around here.

  • When I said I’d try a brake that was running quietly on another bike, that was a Guide. Since it looks like the front SLX is leaking and I don’t want to have a Sram front and Shimano rear I’ve just fitted both the Guides.

    I will replace the leaking SLX caliper but there’s no rush really as they’ll now go on my full sus which I’m going to hold off on building until the weather improves I think.

  • You're missing that he's swapping the whole brake incl lever, not just the caliper
