Bumping my own old thread- when I was looking for another thread on my bike.

It's interesting reading this- When I finally got around to re-re-rebuilding my 1985 Trek 620- this was exactly what I had planned- but the XTR brakes didn't have *quite* enough adjustment. Which shocked me. I probably could have filed them down and gotten just a touch more out of them, but dude... filing XTR stuff???

I still have the fantasy of M732 in front M900 in the rear on the next bike!!!
