Has anyone bought recently XT785 brakes and could share what was in the box and whether the caliper and the lever where connected? Thanks |

Caliper and lever were connected, bolts to mount and spare olive and union supplied if needing to shorten hose. |

Thanks Ian, did you get in addition 2 screw plastic clips, two yellow blocks(for holding the hose while inserting the metal insert) one yellow and one red caliper spacers and brake adapter? I ordered front and rear brakes separately from CRC and the boxes turned up with completely different contents

Same for me - I ordered them as sets and got all VW did. |

The yellow spacer is the bleed spacer, i find mine to be too thick by 1mm :/ the red spacer is for when you transport the bike without the disc / wheel in place to prevent the pistons moving. |

My brakes didn't have all the bits and pieces. One came not connected at all and without olive and insert so i can connect it and on top both with different type pads. Sending everything back and they promised to sort it out. Did not expect that from CRC
