Hi all,
I have a Mark 1 Scalpel and need to replace the front Shimano XT Disc Brake Dual Control (front break).
The existing two units are:
and
My question is, will a new lever be compatable with the old caliper? The Shimano web site states:
"An increase in pad clearance at the calliper has enabled Shimano to use their proven Servo Wave technology in this hydraulic brake lever.". And I'm wondering if I'll need a new caliper also?
The unit I'm considering is (which can only be purchaced as two levers only):
http://www.farnhamcycles.co.uk/Shop/p/24376-shimano-deore-xt-st-m775-xt-dual-control-levers-for-disc-brakes/
Or I could get (which is sold as 1 lever + caliper):

Thanks for any advice!!
