• Can I use Shimano Ultegra R8070 flat mount calipers with flat bar levers?
    As I understand then all Shimano 2-piston hydraulic calipers use 22mm diameter pistons.
    But what about hose? Shimano has several hose series.
    Shimano Ultegra R8070 caliper use the SM-BH90-JK-SSR hose.
    Shimano BL-MT401 levers use SM-BH59-JK-SS or SM-BH90-SS hose.
    Is the hose identical as long as it is BH90?
    I assume that the only difference between these are the connection screws supplied with the kit? Also olives and inserts?

  • It's only the inserts that are different. The JK presumably stands for J-Kit, which is when calipers are supplied pre-bled. If you buy just the hose, obviously this isn't the case.
