I know its been talked about, but to be sure, before i spend the money, can you use XTR disc brake calipers with XT levers as my LBS says you cant and people on here say you can.

    How interchangeable are Shimano's hydraulic disc brake systems?
    All Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems are interchangeable. Depending on the model of the brake lever and caliper, the connections may differ and could require replacing of the hose and/or the connection fitting, but the brake levers and calipers are fully compatible.
