ordered a new hope back brake from CRC a couple of months ago and just got round to fitting it

good news is they sent one with braided hose

bad news is its way too long. whats the best way to cut the hose

Sharp wire cutters !.

be quick with the olive before the wire braid expands

its an art to get the olive on, i wouldnt recommend cutting to final length until you have mastered it, or if indeed if you do get the olive on before final length is cut, just cut the clear plastic sheath back to length you want, then slide the olive up, and cut the exposed braid to the length you want

good luck

Hope Braided Hose Assembly

quite a wordy run through, but well explained…..

Thanks guys happy now just need some cable cutters

Cutters and a short sharp blow off the hammer!
