Will this work?

Specifically Rs505 levers with either m2 or clout calipers?

I could buy shimano calipers for not much money, but have 2 sets of clarks brakes that are not being used at the moment.

I've got a set of Clarks calipers with Shimano slx levers. No issues so far. All seems to be compatible.

Presumably that would be known as a Shiarks setup?

SHImano and TEktro

Speaks for itself.

Interesting.
@nickjb which hoses, olives and inserts are you using?

Shimano hose and olive. They looked very similar. Even the Shimano thread screwed straight into the Clarks

The Clarks levers feel pretty poor but the calipers are nice. I think it's a good combo

brakes
