Hiya,
I have a 2012ish Trek 6300D that unfortunately has laid up for a year or so due to moving. It now has a few issues that I need to address. I'm confident enough regarding changing parts, but know nothing about specs etc and whats compatible replacement wise.
The front caliper, an Avid Elixir 1, has a seized piston and I've been unable to fix it. I bought replacement seals but the pot is shagged too and frankly I was never too fussed about how they performed. I'm looking to replace this with a new equivalent spec option. Any suggestions? Things seem to have changed a lot from old Elixir 1/3/5 or Shimano Deore/XT options I used to be familiar with.
Likewise, I'm looking to change from the 3x10 set up on there currently and move to a 1x10 drivetrain. This is where I have no idea about replacements, so could really do with some guidance here.
Spec:-
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore XT M780 Shadow
Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore
Crank: Shimano M552, 42/32/24
Shifters: Shimano Deore M591, 10 speed
Cassette: Shimano HG62-10 11-36, 10 speed
Brakes: Avid Elixir 1 hydraulic disc brakes
Full spec here
Really appreciate the help and advice,
Cookeh
