Quick question:

I have a couple of out of warranty, leaking XT 4-pot 8020 callipers. Anyone know for sure if I can just straight swap these out for some Saint callipers? Any gotchas? Same hoses, banjo bolts, etc

Thanks!

Should work fine, I've got some basic deore calipers mated to a set of 105 hydraulic road Brifters

My only concern would be banjo bolt. But this implies you are OK.

I've gone for 8120 brakes and they do have a different bolt.

Everything should work.
Banjo bolts should be compatible

List is below pic

Great stuff, thanks very much all.

Wasn’t aware of the newer 8120 callipers as it happens... hmm... guessing they will need a new banjo bolt though.

Will probably just stick to saints as i can source cheaply second hand.

Cheers!

8020 and Saint calipers are identical bar the branding. Same forging.
