Great combination with XTR brakes. Don't get me wrong, XTR levers are extreme great levers, but PB levers are the ultimate levers. I like 'em alot. These work much better than my XT levers did with my Non -shimno liner pull brakes. Works better than any I've tried.
Looks are cool as can be.
Buy 'em, you won't regret it. They are smooth as butter. Good to excellent modulation. Not only are these ugly but they are faulty. My friend traded a set to me for a race face bb that I had layin around.
