    Does anyone know if a Shimano MTB lever would work with a Shimano hydraulic flat mount road disk brake?
    Thanks

    I had plans to convert a drop bar bike to hydraulic brakes using XT flat levers and some spare road calipers.  You just need to ensure the hose fittings for the levers are correct.  Being shimano, I expect there will be no problem.  I was going to order new hoses and fittings for my build.

    Yes, it will work fine, but…

    You’ll obviously need to refinish the hoses (or buy new) as appropriate and bleed, so there is a bit of work required. 

    Even at that, it should work out much cheaper than a whole new braking system.

    However I changed plans when I got a complete set(lever, calipers) of Di2 road hydraulic brakes for a really good price.
