About the last third of the trail I lost my front brake (leaked fluid)
Thats unusual. Those hoses and seals are very well manufactured - especially at the XT level.
I must add that that was the ONLY time I've had a hydraulic failure. I've had those XT brakes on that bike (Santa Cruz Heckler) since I bought it in 1998. I think the failure was @ 1999 - 2001ish.
