I believe the 555 is hydraulic and the 525/515 are cable
Agreed the 515's are mechanical, but definately 525 and 555's are hydraulic I went to Shimanos website and there doesnt seem to be any major differences I just need to know what will be coming on my 2002 Trek 6700 disc as it just says "Deore hydraulic disc brakes" ?????
Thanks

I'm totally not 100% sure on this, but there are two basic versions of the Deore Hydros. One has a pretty compact caliper that bolts directly to IS mounts. One has a Hayes-type caliper (74mm spacing, same as Hayes) that uses an adapter to fit on IS mounts. That could be why there are two models.
Hope this helps.

yeah i believe it refers to the mounting system.
ermmmmm
if you look at aftermarket deore hydros, they are silver with a tidy caliper, but the OE versions are a plain black ( it looks cheap like plastic) caliper that looks like a postmount caliper with an IS plate.the lever finishes are different too.
just thought i'd tell ya thas all
i myself use a hope enduro disc on the front, but im currently using an avid arch rival on the back of my kona stuff. i just need to get £120(which i havent got) to get another.
