About to get some xts for my blender as they seem to have nothing but amazing reviews and as they are for my 4x bike I dont see the point in splashing out for much more. But my question is im running dj3s up front does anyone know if im going to need adapters or will the calipers just bolt on? cheers! |

I have them and they are excellent If you buy them from a shop they will fit them with the right adapters and shorten the hoses All depends on what size rotors really |

Yeh, I thought as much planning on sticking with 160mm so i might be alright then. Stupid questions but do they come with pads as I know you have to get rotors separate. |

Yeah you can spec them with normal or finned pads |

And have them bled and "overfilled", I was told, as the free stroke screw does little to adjust the free stroke. But my XT's are two years old so maybe they have changed since I got mine? |

It would be sensible to have the brakes filled with the free stroke adjusted to accomodate the extra fluid |
