Hey guys,
A while ago I posted a thread on the Shimano XTR brakes that I was buying from,
http://www.speedgoat.com/product.asp?part=44513&cat=30&brand=226

If I bought the levers there, do the americans use a different lever system to us, i.e. Left Lever = Front Brake and Right Lever = Rear Brake???

Yes they use opposite brake lever to us Australians.
However this should not affect you. as you can switch the caliper and lines over.

also, most of the online places will allow you to select your lever preference, so your better off to call and place your order over the phone, and let them know how you want your levers setup

Yeah but like TeamShore03 said, I can just fit the brakes and everything to my liking, like i could just line them up myself, left lever to rear brake and right to front?
Because I am buying the calipers and levers seperate??? So this really shouldn't be a problem should it?
