11 speed brakes?

Are those to go with your hydraulic, 4 pot drivetrain?

 

Actually this is for all 12 and 11 speed brakes from Shimano, 2 pot and 4 pot, they ship with brakes disconnected as mentioned in the intro.

 

Can I run 11 speed brake levers with 12 speed calipers?

Are these all 1X brakes?

 

Kind of. You have to use an 11 speed chain with the 11speed brake, or else you'll get severe chain suck and will need to bleed the brakes every other month.

Also, make sure to get the appropriate powerlink/quicklink for the brake you buy. Last thing you'd want on the trail is to break a lever and not have the correct powerlink for your chain.

Shimano are good brakes, too bad some people are experiencing wondering bite points on the shifters.

I remember the old days when you could use 9speed brakes with 8 speed shifters, but now the cable pull on the derailleur is no longer the same between their 9 speed and 12 speed brakes.

 

What if I only use 29'r chain lube? Will that have any impact on an 11 speed brake lever?

 

This is my favorite post of.the forum right now...I actually laughed out loud reading it...thanks team!

^^^^ Try picking up one of those Analog to Digital converters for your pump when using electronic tubes. I use digital sealant, so I understand the complexities of going back and forth between Analog and Digital.

 

Whats the bit rate on the DAC?

 

Not as fast as you might think. I think it's about 25 Mbps.

 

If this was a tubeless DAC for 12 speed brakes, I thought those were measured in Mbpsi.

 

I’m feeling rather inadequate right now... have to admit one of my bikes is still equipped with 10 speed brakes. {embarrassed}

Meanwhile I upgraded the drivetrain to 11 speed. Compatible or do I need a whole new bike? Believe it or not the frame is 8 speed and the saddle is {gasp} a 7 speed throwback — ancient.

Guess I better start over. I don’t even know what speed the handlebar and pedals are. How can I tell?
