Haven't worked on Grimeca's brakes, but they shouldn't be all that complicated. Have you check the owner's manual or viewed any of Grimeca's on-line video tutorials?

Grimeca has been in the brake business for many years. They make a great product. I have not worked on the system 10 but as mentioned before check their site for help.
I would not use the 10's for any type of dh. It is one of their entry level brakes. If you find your self gettting the urge to do some hard riding I would suggest upgrading to their Sys. 8 at the minimun or go with a diff company altogether.

Don't be put off if you get smacked around a little. Turn off your caps lock, and give complete descriptions (misunderstandings are easy without being able to see the problems) and you'll find these guys are alright, and real helpful!
PS. Did you look at the service information on the web page that you provided the link to?

Yeah, it says to view the videos you need Real Player. But if you have the Acrobat reader, you can look at the manuals (left hand side of the page). Sorry, I don't know anything about the brakes, so I don't have any quick answers.
