For the BH-90. there are 3 versions. SM-BH90-SS. SM-BH90-JK and SM-BH90-SB.
The SS is straight through for post mount brakes and mountain bike levers. The JK is for flat mount brakes for Road Bikes and the SB is for the banjo type brake connectors. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out exactly which one I needed for the road bike and when I found these explanations I thought it would be helpful for everyone here to see the difference too… Happy New Year 2022

Hi I got a pickle here, trying to match ST-RX400 brake levers with M355 calipers. My question here would be what is the real difference between the two hosees/olives?
