Shimano 12 speed quality issues?

Oh and xtr pedals have not been kind to me either. Slop and bearing problems. Then there is the whole busted crank arm problem in another. thread. Maybe they just overextended themselves with buying other companies-

I am having a horrible issue with the XTR 4 piston brakes. Mind you I live in Ohio so we don't have long sustained downhills. I blew through a couple of corners at the beginning of my ride yesterday with them.

I need to look them over, but I'm also going to look for different pads.

Shimano DuraAce 9-Speed was amazing. Just worked and you couldn't kill it. Just saying.

So was XT and XTR 8s, 9s....

Shimano mtb cassettes never last long. Maybe 6sp do but 8sp don´t. Making it in 12sp exacerbates the problem i believe.

I disagree. I've had great luck with Shimano cassettes. I have seen some broken but I've never had a problem. My 900(900, 950, 960) series cassettes have all last quite a while. But I also clean my bikes a lot.
