Shimano XT M8100 Race Brakes - Quick Check vs XT M8000

I also have a Deore XT M8100, but I have the impression that the shifter has a long travel compared to the M420. The brake is new, bled, but I didn't drive it because there was a lot of snow

Hi, love your review. I have a pair of 8100, can I use i-spec II adapter with them?

Does you lever push outwards abit ive just bought one and mine does isit normal?

I don't know if it has already been said, but with the new XT brakes 8100/8120 it is not necessary to unscrew the screw plug and the olive. It is enough to put the sleeve in the pipe and then simply remove the yellow plug from the screw and insert the pipe and screw it tight. That's it.

hey cool video but how did you integrate the sram shifter and the xt brake? thanks

Can you use the new front brake EV system with the Shimano XT M8000 I-Spec II if not is there an adaptive for the 11-speed shifter ? Thank you for the great info but it didn't answer what I needed to know.

The lever blades are interchangeable I suppose?

Flo Motorsport 120 MTB lever blades. Check them out. Can upgrade these brakes with better quality/stronger blades. Comes in a variety of colors. Lifetime warranty too.

hi i have a question, does a shimano m8000 lever blade fit my m8100 lever? thanks.

Hi. Thank you for the informative video. Do you know by any chance what adapters should I buy in order to connect my old SLX M7000 i-Spec 2 shifters? Thank you

The adapter for the derailleur is included in the package or needs to be purchased

Great video. I just bought a set and installed them. Thank you.😊

M8100 definitely nicer looking than M8000. The metal finish looks very high end.

Bought these brakes and LOVE them. Very good quality product. XC setup here.

Do you use xtr a lot in the US?

You know if they're using the same piston or the 8100 is bigger? I would be interested on the internal comparison between the 2.

How do you like the Wolftooth adapter for your Eagle shifter? Do you like the end positioning and is there a lot of adjustment?

With I-SPEC EV mounting, does that mean I will need the WolfTooth adapter to connect SRAM Eagle AXS controller?

Hi, is the shimano m8000 shifter 1x11 compatible to shimano m1100 brake lever? plan to upgrade. many thanks.

Hi, I bought xt m8100 brakes nad I want to combine them with xt m8000 shifters and I have problem because brake levers and shifter holders don't match.

I just upgraded my 9 year old Avid Elixir brakes to Deore xt 8120,wow what a difference.
Thanks for your video BTW 📹

can i mix old shifter with m8000 or m8100 lever. i have a old xt 9 speed shifter

Great detail on this review thanks very much

Where did you get the adapter for ispec 2 shifters?

Excellent, thank you. Very good points and info about the new i-spec EV vs the older i-spec II and the shifter mounting brackets.

hello sir. is the m8100 lever compatible with the m8000 brakes? ive been having the leak issue on my m8000 brake levers. thanks

Do I really need 4 pots for enduro bike with 203mm rotor?

Great video and review! Next time twist the oil bottle 180degrees, that will make it so much easier not to spill

Thank you, excellent as always. The very best!

Hi, wondering what's on the inside of the free stroke screw on Shimano XT BL-M8100 brake lever.
How far can you unscrew it before it pops out (as I`ve been told it will). Am installing one, FS screw
is out about 1/8" out and still not much free stroke.

How did you put the xo1 shifter in the brake lever? I have a gx shifter that I’m trying to put on my xts with i-spec ev and it doesn’t work

Can you use the m8020 4 piston caliper on the m8100 lever and hoses

Shimano deore xt pasang di sepeda etoxic 2635 boleh gk

Good review!

Nice but I like 4 pot 😉

Since I have the older model and mounted my shifter and dropper remote via the I spec II, I wouldn't bother for this apart from the rear calliper which you mentioned about the cable issue. Looking for a new rear calliper now... Thanks for this, very helpful indeed,.

The problem I am having is it doesn’t give me the option to let me purchase the front brake and back brake or does it not work like that

Hello, I've just noticed you are using the new 10-52 casette. Would the Shimano XT m8100 sgs RD be able to work with the new casette? It current works for me with an 11-50T NX eagle casette.

Do you need to put some flued in

Where can I get the adapter brackets from? Going from slx7000 to XT81000 and my adapters for my command post dropper and sram shifters don’t fit

You have the best MTB channel by far...i am glad i stumbled upon it. Thank you for sharing your expertise. You gained a new subscriber...

Este freno m8100 es compatible con un shifter slx m7000, de los que se pegan al freno?

Do they use the same size piston?

very helpful i just brought some m 8000 s on sale

MY marlin 7 came with 'Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc', the levers are horrible, can i replace the lever to a deore or better with out replacing the entire brake? I.e. is a Shimano MT200 lever interchangeable with say a XRT BL-M9020?

Where did you buy the adapters? I just buy the 8120 and search adapters for my gx and roxshox reverb 1x remote...

I looked at the position of the brake yoke and was horrified, since I have a manette mount not i-spec, I just won't get my fingers to the manette lever, thank you Shimano
