I need 2 olives to shorten my brake lines but cant find any instock anywhere and none of my local shops seem to stock olives :?, so does anyone know where I can get some or if they work from any other brakes?

and ask very nicely and they will probably send you a couple free of charge. they sent me a couple when I had the same problem

This may help. I had auriga’s – nearly turned me off disk brakes. But I got over it. Anyways: they’re similar to m525- except in crucial areas:

I never messed with the hoses so cant be more spefic sorry.

I did speak to 1 bike shop that told me that Hope olives would work aswell tho!!

Thanks for the help, I’ll drop them a line and if not give the hope ones a go.
