Going to be setting up a bike with Shimano hydraulic tt levers.

There seems to be a bunch of different model numbers out there for the hydraulic kits. Some have a inner diameter of 2.1mm, some have 2.3 I think...
Which specific Shimano kit should I be buying??

thx!

Thanks.

Is there any real difference between the 'SSR' and the 'SS' kits?
The SSR seems to be a lot more difficult to source here in Canada.... :(

My apologies, you're correct. Too much multitasking this morning.

Hose is the same, different fittings in the kit. You can use the hose from the Mtb kit, you just can't use the fittings. BH 59 has the different ID.
