where to get a 4m brake hose?

Cool. Just looking at the frame is there no way through the downtube / seat tube junction?

the junction would be ok, but the seatube is blocked by funky linkage thingy, openend it up to check as soon as I got my hands on it...

Hell's bells... that's pretty ambitious.

 

Make sure you get mineral oil compatible hose and not the DOT stuff.

Can dot hose not take mineral oil?

Ahh ok. Didn't think of that. Btw Morningside cycles do rolls of brake hose so can cut you a piece to length.

Didn't know hydraulic hose was oil type dependent?

Been using Shimano hose with Hope brakes/dot oil for the last 1,5yrs and not had any issues. Lbs who sold it to me didn't seem to think it would be a problem either. Can you perhaps use dot with mineral oil type hose but not the other way round?

Hmmm. I was under the impression that they were two different animals, but I may be wrong...
