TRP Hylex should be fine I think. I know for certain you can use Shimano calipers with Hylex levers, so by that logic the hoses and barbs should be the same. Not sure about olives though, but you could probably reuse those?

I've attempted to reuse olives on mtb levers and it's never gone well. Barbs aren't usually a problem. I reckon I've got a few Shimano olives around so I'll give them a go.

That hylex+shimano setup was built with a shimano barb + olive (+ converter) in the caliper end, so is not a good example.
Trp uses a barb like Formula with a little o-ring on the end:
But I think you could get away with using Shimano for everything. Goodridge fittings basically use the same end for every brand:

What's the cross compatability of olives and barbs like across brands? I've a pair of TRP Hylex to fit in the near future and it'd be good if Shimano bits were compatible.
