Limited time only! We are offering Free 2-Day Shipping on orders over $50 shipped within the contiguous United States….that’s the lower 48 to you and me. It will take two business days from the date of shipment for your qualifying order to reach you. The items that don’t qualify for Free 2-Day Shipping are kayaks, boats, paddle boards, rocket boxes & and car racks—anything that has to ship via freight methods. If you add a non-qualifying item to an order, your order will not qualify for Free 2-Day Shipping. If you are shipping to a PO Box, your order does not qualify for Free 2-Day Shipping. If you order a rack it will still qualify for Free Standard Shipping if the pre-tax value of the order is over $50. If your order is received before 5 PM Eastern Standard Time, we will make every effort to get it out the same day.

This Shimano LX Dual Control package simplifies not only your rear controls, but your bike-building efforts as well. It comes with the LX Dual Control Lever and derailleur cable, plus a pre-bled brake line, rear caliper, and 160mm Shimano Centerlock Rotor. If you are throwing a new Shimano wheelset on your XC rig, upgrading an old commuter, or just starting from scratch and seeking a killer deal on prebuilt controls, you can’t go wrong with this kit. *REAR ONLY, front sold separately.
Bottom Line: Taking the hassle out shifting, braking, and component matching.
It will but you will need to buy a 6-bolt rotor in addition to the kit if you don't already have one. Or buy a M495 hub with centerlock, actually can be cheaper if you can build a wheel.Shimano XT 6-bolt rotor:http://www.backcountry.com/store/SHI0107/Shimano-America-XT-Disc-Brake-Rotor-6-Bolt.html
Will these brakes fit Saint hubs? Thanks Nathan. If you're still out there, can I just get a Saint rotor and use these brakes with the rotor? And thanks again....
It depends on which generation of saint hubs. The original Saint hubs (labeled M800) used a bigger than normal centerlock system. I believe the newer saint hubs (M810) have the same centerlock system as these brakes.

Maybe, this only works if you have a centerlock hub on your wheelset, usually meaning you have Shimano wheels. If you have a 6-bolt hub on your wheel this kit will not accommodate a centerlock rotor. You will have to buy a 160mm 6-bolt rotor here on backcountry too:http://www.backcountry.com/store/SHI0107/Shimano-America-XT-Disc-Brake-Rotor-6-Bolt.html?CMP_ID=SH_FRO001&CMP_SKU=SHI0107&mv_pc=r126

Most of the newer frames have the tabs so disk brakes can be installed, so depending on your bike you should be able to.Like Chris said, you'll need some disc mounts on your frame and fork. You also need hubs that are disc compatible and if you'll be using the rotors that are included with this set, you'll need hubs that accommodates center lock rotors. KC
