NOT Waiting for Lectric! - XP 3.0 Hydraulic Brake - MT200 Install

I install the Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Caliper and Brake Lever System, a more advanced brake option that should provide superior stopping power, modulation, and fewer brake adjustments once installed. We are all waiting for the Lectric hydraulic upgrade for the XP 3.0, but I had already ordered the front MT200 and decided to go ahead and install it for future comparisons with the Lectric hydraulic system.

The install was not as straightforward as I had hoped and involved some custom shimming of the disc to keep the caliper piston from rubbing against the wheel spokes. Join me for the ups and downs of the installation process as I explore the world of bicycle disc brakes and figure out if this popular option can be made to work on the Lectric XP 3.0.
