Brake lever is perfect and simple to install. But more importantly, Thunder Mountain Bikes delivered quickly with reliable tracking. Would shop here again.

Lever was fine but it doesn’t come with the set screw to lock it in place so I had to use the one on the bent lever

Exact replacement for XT/ 8100 series brakes
Exact replacement for XT/ 8100 series levers. Also fits 7100 and 9100 series levers.
The process to install is pretty straightforward except for the installation one small spring that is admittedly a pain. It isn't at all obvious, but it goes *inside* the outer housing of the lever blade and is secured by the same pin that secures the blade to the lever.
