I have bought a braded hose for my 7s only to realise that one end needs a banjo - Doh!
Does any one know of a compatible banjo that I can use along with the original bolt? I don't think Avid sell them seperate - they come crimped on a length of hose.

Cheers.

What make of hose did you buy? Did you just buy the hose on it's own?

Goodridge supply complete kits, fittings kits or individual fittings.

You'll also need the fittings for the lever too.

Yes, I just bought a length of Clarkes cable and some Avid barbs and olives.
I am not paying Goodridge prices if I can help it!

Use the original connectors then. it'll fit the same way the regular hose did.
It will void your brake warranty though, as Avid don't like aftermarket braided hose fitted to their brakes.

The original banjo is crimped to the old hose and so not re-usable.
I need a new stand-alone banjo made to be connected to a loose hose.

Try a hope dealer for one of their banjo fitting kits.
