    ok then, will the xt brake hose fit both? you know this is leading to me buying 2 hoses off ebay that are currently for sale cheap.
    who cares?

    if the fitting look the same they will be.

    note the levers and caliper do not look like they work with the Banjo fitting.

    should be OK.

    100% sure about the lever. but its 50% on the caliper.

    if the connection is on the top it is fine but if it is on the side like this

    then no good.
