Where did it break? Better to replace it. Would you join a broken brake hose on your car or replace it?

Yes you can. I've done it to lengthen lines for rear brake on tandem MTB.

I got parts from a hydraulic shop, but LBS may be able to get you the connector.

I would suggest you rather replace the hose. Its just much safer that way knowing tou have a complet hose rather than a connection where there is possibility of failure.

How long is a piece of string?

The problem with repairing a hose is it could be cheaper to get replacement.

Replacement gives certain piece of mind, Industry uses joins only when really needed because it introduces resistance and extra point of failure

P.S some more details regarding brakes would help eg brand model and where its broken pictures always better

Replace it, just for Peace of mind. If its broken in one place why wont it break again?

 

Also it doesnt break when parked in the garage.

 

It breaks when you are pulling the lever hard whilst dropping down "death cavity" in a big race.

 

THere are certain things in life you never repair.

 

You replace.

Define "broken" - did it come undone or did the hose itself tear.

If the latter - replace.

If the former just cut off about 10mm off the end (with a proper cutter) and re-attach.Use a new olive.
