Default juicy 7 levers with ultimate calipers?

Has anyone done this yet, mated a juicy seven lever to a juicy ultimate caliper.

If so was it difficult, or can this even be done at all?

thanks for the info.

be careful. the caliper is designed to be used with a specific volume master cylinder. If your M/C cannot move enough fluid, you wont have adequate brakes....
if your M/C moves too much fluid, you will have zero modulation. On or OFF brakes basically.

Run them with what they were designed for.

thats why I was probaly going to just do the ultimate calipers because the only difference, that I know of between 7's and ultimates is that, ultimates are a mono block caliper versus a two piece, and ti bolts but I dont care about that.

as long as piston sizes and master cylinder sizes are pretty close, you should be good.
