I need some hose to fit a shimano xtr caliper to an xt lever. The instructions for the caliper says i should use bh96 (xtr) hose. But cahinreaction/ebay only have bh59 (deore), bh63 (xt) or bh80 (saint).
So what is the difference between the hoses and can i use say the saint hoses on an xt/xtr brake?
Cheers.

its the end fittings that are different - one has a banjo crimped on. If its front hose you need i have some you can have for a fiver

Cheers for the offer mate, got it sorted now though. Just confused me when the only apparent difference between bh80 (saint) and bh 63 (xt) was the saint had 10mm extra hose on the front. All had the same fittings... weird!
