Hi, does anybody know if Shimano BH90 brake hose kits are compatible with XT 785 calipers and levers? If not, can anybody tell me which hose kits are compatible please?

Thanks

    I believe that all Shimano hose inserts and fittings are common across the range so should be ok.

    There are 2 types of Shimano hose insert a yellow one and a silver one they are different sizes the XT 785 uses the silver hose insert.

    BH90 with the silver hose insert and very shiny brass olive is the one to use dont use Shimano universal with the yellow insert and larger dull olive or you will be in a world of pain and expense.

    Yeah, that's the right one. It has the pre-crimped banjo at the calliper end.
