Intercompatibility of Shimano disk brake components
Could someone summarize the compatibility issues between different Shimano
disk brake calipers, levers, pads, connectors, fluid, and hoses, or point me to an up-to-date article on the subject? Thanks, James Thomson |

Thanks, James Thomson Dear James, Here's a page listing some parts-compatibility PDF charts: http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/publish/...ty_charts.html http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/publish/...nation.pdf.pdf No idea if it's recent enough or covers the details that you want. Cheers, Carl Fogel |

I'd seen the page, but somehow missed the big blue footnote: *All hydraulic brake levers are interchangeable as long as you specify proper brake hose. The context is that I'm trying to piece together a working disk brake from closeouts and eBay bargains, which could quickly become an uneconomic project if I find that the parts I end up with are non-compatible. The footnote eases my worries, at least as regards current parts. More specific questions for those who might have experience: Are front and rear IS-mount calipers generally interchangeable if disk diameters are adapted to suit? Can a given caliper or lever accept either a straight or "banjo" fitting? James Thomson |
