I bought the TRP Downhill brakes after Andrew's review. They replaced my "floating bite point" XTs that I learned couldn't be fixed in the comment section of his article.
I mounted them on my enduro bike and then realized I hadn't bought all of the parts I needed to get it running again. Then I couldn't find a 10spd SRAM direct mount narrow wide ring, and ended up taking my hardtail out for a ride.
I then learned my front Guide on my hardtail isn't working so hot either (very little power, couldn't make it to a skid). I still need to investigate, but I assume it's also unrepairable and I'm either going to put the front XT that was still sort of working from my enduro on my hardtail, or just buy these.
