This video has been a long time coming... Its time to slow down and get control, something that has been lacking since the very beginning. So to clamp down on this problem #ProjectFuelEX is getting Shimano SLX M7100 2 piston hydraulic brakes. Upgrading from the Shimano MT401 brakes to these SLX M7100 brakes has made an enormous difference in just how well the bike feels to ride.
Keep an eye out for a full tutorial here soon on installing new brakes, but for now enjoy this video of the before and after experience with this hydraulic brake upgrade on my Trek Fuel EX.

Thanks for the great instructional video. Looking to build myself a good mtb and I have a complete SLX 11 speed drive train that has no more than 20 total hours of use so I decided to find some SLX brakes. Thanks again and stay blessed.

Hi, thanks for vid, do you have feeling about not enough power or modulation of this 2 pot brakes? I have fs bike 29er short travel, I wanted to know from you if 2pot brakes on the front are enough, or is there a need for 4pot brakes? I wonder if it makes sense to overpay for 4por brakes, I ride roughly the same tracks.

@jeffedmisten6576
@jeffedmisten6576 3 года назад
Question: why don't you follow your own advice from your other video and use the shift cable with the end cap hack to attach to the existing brake hose so you'll have a guide when you feed the new brake hose in from the back?
@RodPagador
@RodPagador 3 года назад
You made that cable replacement look easy. I had to buy the park tool to get it though the rear triangle... Never again.
@Jamesthebikeguy
@Jamesthebikeguy 3 года назад
It is pretty easy. That took maybe one to two minutes. trick of the trade on a chain stay like that is to press the cable in all the way till it bottoms out. That will bow out the cable and then with your hook implement you can hook around it and you actually pull back on the cable until you get the end and you pull it straight out

I believe part nr is Y0L898040, you can ask your lbs. I can't find it myself unfortunately. You also need integration nut Y0GT10000.

Hey saw your video which was great and clean. and i wonder which adapter did you use and to what front shifter was it paired to. Bought same brakes and so far loving them! But that second point of contact just messed up my shifter position and temporarily its in an awkward place. Thanks!

Going from shimano to shimano wouldnt it have worked to unscrew the brake cable from the old brakes and leave it in place already routed and at the correct length and use it on the new ones?
@VodI2

Nope, the cheap Shimano use a lower quality hose. Dont use that with slx or xt.

Nice intro, man! It seemed something really bad! I have SRAM Guide R, I like the modulation but they are not very powerful but I don't have much complain. But I don't ha e other reference than V-brake. How do you compare Guide R with these SLX? Thank you
@Jamesthebikeguy
@Jamesthebikeguy 3 года назад
Are they the early version of the guide are? The early ones the levers would get a little messed up where the break wasn't quite as powerful due to bleeding issue in the lever. You may want to get them bled and they'll feel better

2 years too late to tell me something that's not accurate. I'm using resin pads in the brakes on resin compatible rotors. You'd be correct if it was metallic pads, but alas it is not.
