I recently picked up a pair of used brakes for my bike. They are Shimano XT brake levers with XTR calipers, and they are pretty, albeit a bit beaten up.

| These brakes have AWESOME modulation. Nose wheelies, anyone? |

| The only problem that I have is that the rear brake is not engaging well at all. I thought that the issue may be with Shimano's "Free Stroke" adjustment. I couldn't figure out what the hell it did, and why it wasn't really doing anything for me. So I decided to take it apart. This is partly a walkthrough, partly a tutorial, and mostly just a close look at what goes on under the lever on these brakes. |
