Found out my calliper was leaking hence the soft feeling in the lever despite many attempts to bleed it.

Is it possible to replace the seals on Shimano Brakes? from a brief search on-line I can't see any shops selling them as spares.

It is a case of replacing the whole calliper?

    Don't think they sell service kits or bits.

    hmm thought so :(

    Is there much difference between the deore calliper and the XT calliper? I can't get any detail about either of them. Thinking of just getting the much cheaper deore calliper it can't weight much more than the XT one?

    Have a look at the SLX caliper, not much more than the deore but similar performance to the XT
