I bought a set of old xt 4 pots on a whim because they were cheap and I was bored. They work fine, once I sorted out the stupid IS mounts at least.
But I want to shorten the hoses and possibly run modern levers on the set. But it they use a weird banjo on both ends system so I'm a little hesitant to cut these old braided lines. I know I could get new brake lines and run it that way, but I was kinda hoping someone knows a little about these brakes before I go breaking anything.
Can one simply cut the lines and add a barb/olive instead?
Do the old levers need to use the banjo, or can they run a barb/olive? (In case I want to use them for something else)
For the love of God, why would they use IS on a caliper? The adapters are $30 each!!
