Hi, I'm pretty sure there will be a compatibility issue with brake hoses. This happens even between some brake set into shimano brand itself. And yes, 6100 brake levers are compatible with x120 calipers
I've also a second wheelset for really muddy terrain :

not the lightest ones but very good Q/P...
Exactly. That's why it would be nice to get the new display. The power controls allow you to put the display on the left side of the brake lever bracket
@BeBiker If you take a look at the brake levers you can notice that they "add" a kind of metal piece to make the brake lever stiffer. Unfortunately, that reduce the range of positioning the display and because of the "curvy" shape of the bottom of the display it reduce once more that range...
Oups ! I didn't put the 42t yet but when I put the 38t I noticed that there was a square metal plate inside the carter who "slide" in a certain range. If you grind the plastic stop and a bit of the carter then you can increase the range of the chainguide.
Here are some images of my bike
Not at all. I forgot that you have sometimes a trailer. an hanger. Is that the metal piece that it's fixed between the axle and the derailleur to increase his amplitude ? I read on aliexpress some negative comments about this.
I also wanted to put a 42 chainring but I found then easier to modify the inner metal support of the chainguide and to grind a bit of plastic of the carter to increase the range of the original chainguide settings. Anyway. As always, you found the way to upgrade your bike and our mechanical...
Yes, that's the one. The problem even when I bought it was the availability because of the quite low price and the features offered. Due to the new shape of the mounting bracket of the brake lever it could be difficult to find the right place for the display. I will try to post images to be more...
I bought the complete kit for 140€ . This was the best value for the money in the 4 pistons range. Indeed. The difference between 2 and 4 pistons is really noticeable.
