whats the diffrence..

[dirt-dart]

whats the diffrence between shimano lx hydor levers, and xt hydro levers?

and would running lx levers with saint calipers hinder their performance at all?

[sanjuro]

I don't think there is any. All the Shimano brakes stuff is very similar.

[Quo Fan]

about $40. Go with the LX, performance is relatively the same. Maybe slightly less feel, but that would be about it.

Theres always minor differentials between the hierarchy of brakes....I don't think paying the extra $ is worth it in this case....Id run the lx levers also....why pay extra money just to have the appearance changed a little, and have the lx switched to XT? cmon now...

I called shimano about this once, and I was told that the XT have better bushings and develop less lever slop over the course of time. I ended up buying the XT's but have since sold them. I am now riding Formulas.
