Just purchased a pair of XT M775 dual control levers, after seeing them on the really good deals topic. I currently have 2006 XT stuff on my bike, so does anyone know if I can use my M765 calipers with my new levers?
yup
All Shimano levers are compatible with all Shimano callipers. Just make sure your hoses have the right fitting on the ends - straight or banjo.
Excellent, thanks very much!
No probs.
I have a mix of XT levers (old and new) with old XT and XTR calipers on two different bikes.

I thought XTR, especially older stuff, was all over the place in terms of compatibility?
I just bought the same levers to go on some old LX calipers 🙂
Excellent price - haven't tried XT dual controls but I do like my XTR 970's....
Nope, XTR is fine too ex-pat although it did run banjos at both ends of the hose in the M960 range. But with the correct hose you can still mix and match with other Shimano groups.
