Going to swap some Guide Ts for Code Rs for a mate. Any reason why I can't swap the caliper and levers and leave internally routed hose in situ

Thanks for helpful answers in advance.

Not sure if the caliper end hose hardware is the same or not. Lever end yes fine.

I think it'll work, you'll need new olive and barbs though.

Or if you want / need to swap the hoses, use on of the red hose connectors you get with a reverb to attach one hose to the other and then pull through.

My rsc codes have different caliper connectors than my guide rsc.

Thanks all, went for it. The banjos are slightly different in appearance / construction, but the thread / length appears the same. The Code hose was too short, so that forced the issue.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Needed to replace the lever end barb / olive, as had to cut the old one off to change the rubber covers as they were different size.</span>

Will see if he dies next time out....
