Have decided on my new brakeset having read some excellent reviews.

Rear - Shimano M988 Trail Lever & Caliper - 180mm ice tech rotor

Front - Shimano M988 Trail Lever with Saint M810 Caliper - 203mm ice tech rotor

Question is which hose do i need to connect the front brakes up with?

The BH90 is the standard XTR hose

The BH80 is the standard Saint hose

In the BH90 tech docs it says about different connector inserts but I think now I am in way over my head and need some expert advice!

Here is a Devinci Wilson that had this combo installed just to prove it works ๐Ÿ™‚

They both use banjos, non? So use the banjo bolt from the Saints with the hose connected to the XTR lever.

I'm running the xtr/saint setup on my dh bike and it works brilliantly, the setup is all saint fittings and hose with the xtr trail lever
