I've been looking to replace the mechanical disc brakes on my lower-end bike with hydraulics without sinking too much cash into a rig I'm going to replace fairly soon.
I'm thinking of picking up some calipers to pair with a new set of Deore XT ST-M765 integrated shifters/brake levers, but the M765 is a 9-speed shifter and my current cassette is 8-speed. Is there a reasonable way to cobble together this setup?
My rear derailleur is the black-bodied Deore LX M570, which I believe will work with either an 8- or 9-speed cassette, so if I need to upgrade the cassette it won't be too much trouble.
