Afternoon everyone,
In my tightwad cheapskate attempt to build a decent set of brakes on a budget, I sourced some old-style XT brakes (M755) (both with RH levers, to pretty cheap) from which I have taken the calipers and hoses. I also sourced some XTR dual-control units (M966), thinking I could just stick them on the end of the hoses with the same fittings from the XT hoses.
But of course that would have been too simple and convenient 
It seems the XTR levers need a banjo fitting whereas the XT hoses are straight-through connectors.
I've looked at getting the XTR banjo unit, but they're looking super-expensive (£26 for a few little bits of metal, PER END). So I'm wondering if the collective intellect of STW can think of any other way to get around it. Would any other banjos and bolts fit?
I've looked into goodridge, but the 107 kit says it's good for M960, but not for M755, so that would just give me the same problem in reverse (I think?)
All (constructive) suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
Kevin
