i've got a bike (a customer's bike) with old (2003-ish) 4 piston shimano deore XT (brm-755) hydraulic brakeset that has a bad--leaky around the pistons--caliper, and there's no way to rebuild it. the shimano people and quality catalog urge me to believe that the lever cannot be paired with with newer model calipers. anybody have experience pairing *supposedly* incompatible levers with other calipers? please advise.
