CdT85 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Reviving an old thread here. Stripped out mate's stuck down M7000 SLX lever last night and found that the piston/plunger head is mushroomed. And seems that my M785 XTs isn't far from reaching that point also. Found these kits on Ali Xpress. Works out to about R190 with shipping if anyone want to attempt to rebuild/revive their lever. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32973287602.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3c344c4d9QAbRL Lead time sux a bit, but will provide feedback on these and the rebuild process if and when they arrive one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 3, 2019 Share BTW, if I was to say stuff it all and want to buy Hope brakes, which model would you suggest?For you, race lever, X2 caliper. More than enough power and it's a slightly smaller package. EDIT: Yes, I know it's like 8 months later and all.

Meezo Posted December 3, 2019 Share wonder if this will work in an XTR m9000 lever!? current internals doesnt last for s***tThe feeling on your lever is not the piston getting stuck but rather the lever losing bite, i think the plausible explanation is the bore of the cylinder is phucked. This could be caused by bad maintenance and weight savings in the xtr lever babse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcwailei@gmail.com Posted March 18, 2020 Share Hi, I'm encountering the same issue on my m785 fron lever is more affected then the rear one. Can someone please tell me the material of the piston inside the master cylinder? is it from plastic/composite or metal? I'm asking this because on aliexpress i can see that the same seller is selling aprons(rubber o-rings) separately and he is also selling a metal piston together with the o-rings. https://bit.ly/2IYe5eo https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32973287602.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3c344c4d9QAbRL And don't know which version is better to buy. Apparently , if the original piston is from plastic, it seems a better idea to buy the whole metal piston, but don't know how will this impact the entire system. Let me know you're thoughts.
