easy or awkward ?

These are on my Croix de Fer 30 and have the quick link connectors. The front one is about an inch too long. If it’s a faff I’ll live with it !

advice welcome 🙂

oh well 🙂 I popped a few of the reverb cable joining clips on it and it will do !

Pretty easy to shorten. Just like any Shimano hose really. You will need a new olive and insert, although with a bit of careful faffing you can re-use the inserts. I think there are two different inserts, one at the lever and one at the easyjoint thing, one is specific to that fitting, the other can be used in either – sorry I can’t remember which is which…

Thanks Jason, think I’ll live with them for a bit as have clipped to gear outers and a bit neater.
