    Anyone using 6600 sti levers with 6700 calipers? Read different reports on compatibility. Slowly upgrading bike but cant afford the sti's yet and need to get new calipers as the ones i'm using are giving up the ghost.

    Im have been using using that configuration on a bike for the last couple of months with absolutely no problems. I didn't find any real difference from the 6600 calipers they replaced. Certainly worked well enough when some idiot opened a car door right in front of me yesterday.
    I know Shimano don't recommend it but you will be alright. Incedentally I got the brakes for a good price from Rose bikes.

    There is absolutely no issue with using 6600 levers with 6700 calipers. In fact you can use any calipers from any shimano groupset (and most non-shimano calipers too) without issues.
