hey there, Well currently im running a set of shimano xt m775, but I'm looking for something with a little more power, instead of buying a set of saint brakes, i was wondering if it is possible to just buy the callipers and install them with my existing levers? Has anyone done this before? and would there be any problems?
Cheers

Same fluid, should be A-OK; you lose the servo-wave if you don't use the new levers; I don't know whether thats good or bad, probably a preference thing.

I love my 10 Saints; modulation depends on a light touch, and the power is there!! (WOW) I am swapping from 07 Codes, and the power is upped big time; the codes were no joke either, but WOW!

No problems at all.

The 775 and 810 levers are identical.

cool, so do the m775s have the servowave? or is it just the saints that have that?

the m775 and m810 levers are the same. so yes, they have servowave.

they both have the same servowave. the saints push more fluid though im pretty sure

only thing is that the connector to the caliper for the new saint calipers is different from the XTs

Digging this up a little, but got the set up running today. only trouble I had was the connectors, though we had a magura set which seemed to work nicely. They feel friggin awesome, they feel a little more solid when pulling it in, as opposed to other saints ive played with

What is the difference in the connectors? I was looking at CRC and since I plan to change the hoses anyway I figured buying levels and calipers only would be nice, could be a little cheaper too. I was thinking along the lines of XT levers with saint front caliper and Xt rear. Just need to make sure I have the right connectors so I can order if I have too.
