I have no idea about hydraulic brakes!
Do they use a standard "push" ratio, the equivalent of a cable brake pull ratio? For example, all canti brakes work on the same pull ratio, as do all V's. And all road brakes too (apart from the very newest ones, I think). So with cables, it's easy to mix and match.
Is it possible to mix and match hydraulic levers and calipers? or do different makes use different ratios (volume of liquid moved / mm of pad movement)?
I started wondering the other day about the possibility of combining the new shimano di2/hydraulic road levers with the sram hydraulic rim calipers... I'd also be interested to know if older MTB magura levers could be combined with a more modern disc caliper, or are they limited to the original rim brake version?
thanks!
