I currently have Shimano BR 765 disc brakes and the rear caliper is sticking. Can I use BR 775 calipers with the BL 765 dual control levers. The only problem I can see is the 765 and 775 have different brake hose attachments. Thanks Mike.

    yes you can. new hoses may be needed.

    As Nick says you can use the calliiper. If you have enough slack hose on your brakes you can simply cut the banjo fixing off the bottom and replace it with a straight in connector. The bolt, olive and insert come as a kit for £4.99, Shimano part number is 8H2 9801.

    Thanks guys that's what I thought. I've already ordered the fittings to replace the banjo connectors.
