Unfitted and boxed, fully packaged as new. Warranty replacement set - selling as they didn't really match my H-bars, as much as I'd like them to.
CRC price is £179.99 / RRP £209 per end, selling for £300 F+R posted 1st class + insured.

Must resist temptation!, (I'm skint this month anyway)
I've got a set of XT's on my full susser, and having had a go with a mate's xtr's, they are a far better brake.
If they're still knocking about in March, I may be interested..

Jamso, I was looking at a set of these for my loop bars, why did you find they didn't match?

I have H-bars so the brake goes in front of the cross-piece and teh new shimanos have shorter levers - the loops work fine with them apparently. but I like the width of the cross-bar on the H's so would rather change levers. Shame really as they're vaguely exciting brakes, but I'm happy on BB7s and need to raise some funds.

Apparently these are going for £312 on some sites .. so I'm open to an offer before sticking them on STW )

Hoses are 1m front, 1.7m rear.
We spec 95cm and 1.6m on 29ers as OE from Shimano so they're a bit longer than stock as pictured here
