specialized7 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Has anyone fitted goodridge hoses on Juicy Ultimate brakes.I have the hoses but dont know if the standard Avid fittings will work.
Thug Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Have thought about it often enough but have never got around to doing it. Let me know how it pans out.
101SCC Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Had experience with Goodridge / XTR and it was not a good one 1. Once the correct Goodridge Fittings were bought Scratch had them on in an instant... Moral of the story is buy Goodridge Fittings, their website gives a breakdown of the appropriate fittings for each caliper system. Then it's quite pleasant really.
TitusTi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Use the Goodridge fittings, don't even bother trying with anything else.
Da2lip Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I have them on my magura's. Great hoses but you need to get the goodridge fittings..
specialized7 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Thats not good news.I was hoping to be able to use Avid or XTR fittings.Why do these fittings not work properly?
Dirtbreath Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I have an article in some overseas mag about installation of these hoses. PM me your mail address and I'll scan and mail it to you.
TitusTi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Thats not good news.I was hoping to be able to use Avid or XTR fittings.Why do these fittings not work properly? The hoses themselves have different external and internal diameters to you normal hoses, they've done away with the olives as well.

specialized7 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Have thought about it often enough but have never got around to doing it. Let me know how it pans out. Had it done with Alligator fittings which all shops should have.Works like a dream.
Reghard111 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Hi, Speak to Mike Bond at International race supplies. They import the Goodridge stuff for our race cars and he told me that he brings in the cycling kits as well. He is near woodmead. 011 804 1275
