    What brake cable (or kit) do I need to do this?

    I will have to bleed it right?

    if its mechanical it wont need bleeding but I dont think there is a mechanical XTR brake so you will need longer hoses and some fluid and you will have to bleed it

    Yes, longer hose (surprise surprise!) and bleeding.

    CLICKY – Something like this is for you want to completely replace alternatively most hose is availble for about £6-7 per metre.

    As for oil just got to local motor factor and get some dot 4 or dot 5.1 brake fluid

    shimano use mineral oil not dot fluid so don't use dot fluid – you will ruin the brakes

    and you will need a little yellow goodridge tab for extra too cool for school points.

    You'll probably need a new olive and insert too.

    Do you mean hose?

    If you do then get some compatable goodridge hoses and a small bottle of mineral oil from CRC and the like?
