Common problems with saints

Recommended Posts

I'm buying some m810 saints second hand later, is there anything particular I should look out for?

Edit: I'm now the proud owner of a pair of m810 saints. They were £160 including ice tech rotors and mounts so from the little research i've done i think that was a good deal. I got them from pinkbike and the guy wanted to meet in a neutral place so I was a bit worried they might be dodgey. I popped the rotor in each and gave the lever a squeeze and everything feels fine so hopefully I won't have any problems.

I'll try and make sure the seals are all ok althought I don't know how obvious this will be without mounting them. These are from pink bike too, the guys says the seals are all fine and he's only selling them because he's bought the 820s.

If the calliper seal had gone is it a big issue like the lever one?

I spent almost a full shift one night scouring the web about this on every downhill and trail forum I could find and nobody has found something to solve it. Apparently the seals are a one off and there aren't any alternatives you can use in their place. Could do with Racing Line or Jitsie looking into it as they like to make the stuff no one else will!

John Shrewsbury had an slx lever (I think) on a Saint caliper on the London ride & it worked perfectly, they're not known for seal problems either.

Yes he has, he was running that setup at sheffield, and it looked to work just fine
