Is it possible to run successfully XT levers on Zee callipers and Zee Levers on XT callipers?
Any help and experience greatly appreciated.

actually the Zee lever is based on the SLX with the difference being that the Zee has dimples on the end for greater grip and it does not have the external reach adjust screw
i have a Zee and SLX lever on my bike and the lever bodies look the same size so i would imaging you should be fine to switch them over.

just out of curiosity...why are you thinking of swapping them?

Further to this would it be possible to use 596 levers with Zee callipers?

you probably will be able to as the lever bodies and fluid reservoir designs seem to be the same. however, i cant say the same for the internals of each specific model range...so i could be wrong!
