A fairly frustrating hour or so spent fitting the XT cantis. They went onto the frame itself without any issue.. but the forks. Nightmare.
I presume the combination of unused posts, plus unused brass liners on the cantis, and of course a little oxidation meant that it took force (i.e. the gentle attention of a nylon hammer) to get them on. Whereupon they naturally wouldn’t pivot at all. Anyway, some scotch padding of contact points helped, but it will be next weekend before I cable her up and see if the cantis operate smoothly..
Grrrr.
