i was wondering if there is any difference between the hardware that come with the hoses. xt seems to have the silver braided hoses, while xtr doesn't. plus xt hoses are a lot cheaper. any experience? my concern is getting the proper replacement fittings like the olives, o-rings etc.
Your LBS should have a Shimano small parts box with all the appropriate fittings that you might need.
If you get the braided hoses, make sure it's the coated hoses. The uncoated ones will file through whatever it contacts.
