Are XT levers compatable with saint calipers?

[Calvin M]

Will the current xt lever (master cylinder) work with a current saint caliper.
Everthing looks the same and will hook up no problems but are the internals of the xt lever the same as saint. Same pressure/volume output etc.

Yep.

I haven't tried it myself, but someone has tried it on MTBR.

I have both saint and xt brakesets and i swear the levers externally are identical.
Unless there is some difference internally i would say they would work fine.

I run the current spec XT levers with the current spec Saint 4 spot caliper. They work amazingly well. So much grunt!

I've been told they are mechanically identical.

Might I ask then why you would go to the trouble of changing them over?

Pretty simple really. I had the XT brake set on my bike, but wanted more grunt but couldn't afford a complete setup. So I bought a Saint caliper off a guy second hand, that was complete with lever, but the lever was busted. Just swapped my XT caliper for the Saint, quick bleed and I was done.

all shimano brakes are the same, you can use any lever on any caliper.

Someone for the love of god, please put 2011 ate levers on saint calipers. Please.
