I have a bike with Shimano mt447 brakes. I also have 2 new Deore mt6100 brake calipers which I like to use.
The MT447 needs a SM-BH59 brake hose and the Deore a BH90, which apparently has a smaller internal diameter.
The question: can I use the Deore calipers with the thinner brake hose if I use the correct barb and olive?
Thanks!
Edit; apparently the difference in inner diameter is 0,2mm (2,3 vs. 2,1mm)
