Hydraulic Hose Joint - SRAM

Turning to TheHub wrench oracles...

 

Helping a friend build a gravel bike.  He has bought a pair of second hand Force 1 shifters/brakes.  They came off a small frame - his bike is a large.  So we need to lengthen his hydraulic brake hoses.  This in itself isn't a problem.  Thing is they came with junction connectors in the hose.  I've disconnected/reconnected these in the past but never actually had to replace them or re-install them on a new hose.  To make things slightly more complicated, I don't know which brand/make/model the connectors are and as such can't find any info regarding parts/spares for them.  It looks like the shifters are all original factory installs - so I would imagine they are a SRAM product?  But I see nothing on the web about them...

 

Anyone seen these ones before?  In a pinch I can always swap them with shimano's version - but I'm not sure if they will handle the DOT fluid?

 

If you know the brand and where I can info regarding where to pick up spares would be great (bear in mind im in the USA, so online stores would be best).

 

TIA

SRAM connectamajig. Not sure if the reverb and brake hoses are the same thing, but your local SRAM service centre should have the answer for you.

As droo mentions, those are the connectamajigs.

 

The other option is to remove them completely from the system and run entirely new hydraulic hosing directly from the lever to the caliper, but then you will need the stealthamajig  :wacko:

 

Seriously, who comes up with these names!?  :eek:

I'd also rather go with replacing them completely.

thanks everyone.  May bad for not searching for connectamajig ;-)

 

I can find loads of online sites selling the dropper post version - but they don't look like they will work on the brake hose.

 

Plan of action: pop into a local sram shop and see if they sell them over the counter.  If not, ask for part code and search online.

 

If the above fails, will run single, full length cables.

 

Thanks again for the replies.

I spoke to SRAM directly - apparently the brake hose with connectamajig is OEM only.  No after sale parts...  Makes sense that I don't see any parts specific to brake hoses online - only reverb...

 

So I will be going full length hose.  

 

SRAM branded hose can be had for around $30.  I guess that is around R450 depending on the exchange rate.  Not sure how much they actually retail for in ZAR...

Shimano hoses goes for about R500, inclusive of the olive and needle.

 

Another R50 of you need a new olive and needle .... 

 

 

would be interesting to know the SRAM prices
