    I just bought a new hose for my Zee – SM BH90 SB. On the back it says it will fit BR and BL M675. I’ve also got the M675 SLX brakes and the hose/banjo for the SLX and Zee looked identical and stamped with SMBH90.

    The only different is the pin which fits through the banjo bolt. The one which came with the kit was identical with the one on my SLX brakes which also fits several shimano offerings. However the Zee brakes use a different and cheaper less sturdy looking pin due to the caliper design so I had to use the original. The kit above may be Zee specific with a Zee specific banjo pin or and Wiggle are just branding it Zee?

    I’m guessing they are one in the same and the existing banjo bolt will work nicely.
    Now, I need it in black, 1700mm and not stupidly expensive. Oddly, Halfords online here I come.

    Close up shots of the packaging above and yes it is Zee specific with the smaller screw. Therefore you need what I got above. I reckon the extra S on the wiggle packaging donates zee?

    The Zee hose on Wiggle will come with the short banjo bolt, the SLX use the long bolt. So simply reuse the one from your calliper with the new hose. Job done.

    Madison have them in stock in black so they should be available to buy from bike shops.

    Price sensitive here so Halfords wins at present (£20)
