coloured hydraulic lines

Hi guys

I'm in the process of buying xt brakes. Where can I find white hydro lines that will work with the xt brakes. I'm in the east rand. Thanks guys

Why?

 

Coloured brake lines and gear cable outers is the ugliest thing to me they have ever invented for bikes....

 

Just saying....

Depends on how it's done.

 

Black frame with white or yellow cables a no-no.

So what colour brake lines do you recommend

[johanpre44]

It is available: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/alero-shimano-hydraulic-brake-cable-kit

 

But for the Price and the fact that you have to bleed the brakes etc. I don't really think it worth the effort (even if it looks very cool).

 

I agree with BogusOne on the color of the cable outers/hoses (black is best), wonder why its not part of Rule 8 (http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/).

Any colour as long as its black

[Riaan373]

No fancy colours. Just white. I have white outers at the moment with my mechanical discs on. It compliments my white bars, wheels, stem, seat post and seat which are all white.

I could only get white when I sliced my one hose. For a while, I was running a single white hose and the rest were black and carbon (fully enclosed goodridge cable system)

 

Now I have black and white - white sleeved braided hoses for the Codes and black gear cable housings. It works!

To answer you - jagwire could have an option as do goodridge. Lbs or online via crc

[mtb impi]

Oi where can i find GOOD RIDGE braided hoses and of course the fittings for shimano brakes ( Previous gen SLX)

 

the hope one online is like 500 randelas for only 1600mm i.e. I'll have to buy two to do my brakes

Bloody expensive I know (still bleeding after buying hope braided hoses from lbs, - got properly screwed. - never again!! ).

 

BUY from CRC!!

Hey help A brotha out...

Hey brotha, you resurrect a deeply sleeping thread and then you want it to wake up running ????

I went to a hydraulic place and they had a box full of banjo bolts of various sizes plus all the compression fittings etc. To make up a new hose for the rear XT brake on the tandem. Germans. In Windhoek. Very particular, ja?

Hey how about doing some homework first!

[Jewbacca]

I have pink hoses on my fun bike... It is black with little bits of pink. I like them...

 

Paragon used to bring in a set of coloured hose from Qaxar. 3m of hose, 2 complete sets of banjo's and universal fittings for pretty much most brakes. It cost about 300 bucks all in.

Are those your kids?

Very expensive for what you get. Jagwire requires you to purchase an additional Quick-Fit adapter set for your SLX brake. ca. R1100 for 2x fittings and 3m hose (incl. shipping, VAT@15.4%, etc.)

You'll need kit M975 / M775 / M665 for the SLX M665 or

kit M985 / M785 / M666 for SLX M7000, M675, M666
