Swopping Brake Hose for longer one

[Balooba]

Hi all

 

I need to lengthen my brake hose. Got wider handle bars and now the back too short. I can get the 1700mm hose from a fellow hubber at a good price (fittings excluded).

 

What would I need to replace/swop out the 2 cable's?

 

Cheers in advance.

The exact parts that you need will depend on the make and model.  Basically an olive and barb - and maybe the o'rings for the banjo bolt.  If it is a new hose that you are buying it may come complete but again it depends on the brand

Thanks. Shimano hose without any parts.

If it's a Shimano brake and the matching hose with the banjo attached you can reuse the compression nut - you'll just need a new barb and olive.

 

If you've got the brake that takes a compression fitting on the caliper end as well you'll need two of each.
