Damn, this conversion is getting expensive.

d8veh's pic shows the m765 XT's. There's a used pair of them on ebay at the mo in Greece, they are a buy it now sale for £40 delivered. They are for 3 x 9 spd cassette but if you have only 8 spd you should be able to get them to work ok using the stop screws.

I fitted a 9 speed freewheel to keep the same as my cassette. I'll check them out

why do you want to change your levers?
if it's just to fit the brake sensors, it would be much cheaper to make your own sensors.

Not worried about the sensors, it's fitting everything on the bars. Consolidating levers and shift seems like a good idea in the future.

Well, caliper post arrived. All together now, running thumb throttle in an awkward position until I get new shifter/brake combo. Test ride in the morning.

Are the anti rotation washers adequate or should I think about torque arms?

I always fit at least one torque arm on the brake side. I anchor it to the rear caliper adaptor screw.

It'll be sunny tomorrow. Hooray!

Yeah, think I'll order one. I'll go for a gentle ride tomorrow. Take my camera out and see if I can snap some beavers that are on the local river. I don't fancy my chances.
