I've decided i want to run my xc bike as 1*9 with one of those new MRP XC guides. Thing is, i have those flappy Shimano XT dual control shifters/levers. Would it be possible to replace the lever/shifter unit with one from another shimano groupset? I rather like the look of this deore one:

Cool, i know they both use mineral oil and i guess Shimano brakes all run the same hose so it should be a go-er.

All Shimano disc calipers and levers are interchangable.
