I am fitting some new 2010 XT dual control levers to my bike soon, to go to some 2006 XT calipers. I'm going to put some new hoses on as the current ones are a bit too short, and looking at Chain Reaction, there is a kit for [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=14854 ]XT/Deore[/url], and one for [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31110 ]Saint[/url] that look the same in the picture, but the Saint hoses are a fair bit cheaper.

Does anyone know if there is any difference, apart from the length of hose? Can I use the Saint kit on my XT stuff?

The saint kit will be fine. They are the hoses for the older style saint brakes which are exactly the same as your xt calipers just badged up differently.

Yup your right rockthreegozy. For some reason i thought the new saints used the inline connectors but it seems they use the 90 degree hoses as well.

Thought I most probably could, but thought I'd check. Thanks very much.
