203/180 front/rear with shimano saints on sintered pads. The thought of putting bigger rotors never occurred to me as the stopping power is already phenomenal.

I read Saint brakes have the old I-Spec B mouting, so it is impossible to attach on the new XT 12V shifter (I-Spec EV).

Solutions? Adapter? Anyone has this configuration?

Thanks in advance.
I have Saint brakes and a xtr shifter with I-Spec ev can you post a picture of your shifter? I think the adapter you need is the same one I used on mine.

I’m going to try out the nex XTR 6 bolt rotors with my Saint brakes, 203 front and back. Right now the brakes are paired to the SRAM 9” front and 8” back, but those get a bit hot and it seemed the Saints worked better with the older, non finned, Shimano icetech rotors on other bikes I have. I hope the new finned XTR rotors offer better cooling and better stopping power that either of those two rotors I have used.

Rotors: Front - Shimano RT-MT900, 203mm Rear - Shimano RT-EM910, 203mm

Brake system: Shimano XT, 4 piston, finned pads BR-M8120, pad spec NO3A for resin (NO4C for metallic).

All as original spec, they seem perfect to me.
