and should I be considering anything else at that price or cheaper for light XC & trail use?

EDIT: F&R brake set without rotors from Merlin


thanks

    What exactly is that. Lots of different things have similar codes.

    Sorry, see my edit. F&R brake levers & calipers but no rotors

    Only difference is they can use finned pads, so if the older ones were superb at the price, the new ones should be equally good at the same price.

    Try Rose bikes. I got a pair from there for just under £70
    You will have to swap the levers over but wherever you buy them you will have to shorten hoses anyway.

    last time I checked the Deore's (M596) from Rose were £80 same price as from CRC.

    Seems this year the UK prices are far more competitive with the German prices.

    I think they were discounted when I got mine.

    If anyone is interested I have a set of deore m596 F&R with xt rotors Rt76 and mounts p/p front 180 and p/s rear 160 for sale. Everything needed. The rear has original hose length never fitted. The front was fitted and hose shortened slightly and taken straight off. PM me if interested or want pictures . Sorry to hijack thread. Cheers
