Was going to set about it with my cable cutters - is this wise, or would I be better using a stanley knife blade?
They're either XT or XTR hoses, can't remember which, not braided or anything, but I get the feeling the cable's wire-reinforced (although that might be rubbish).
Cheers!
i use my cable cutters, makes a reasonable job of it, needs a little reshaping afterwards.
Stanley knife makes a far nicer job of it and doesnt need re-shaping.
stanley knife with a new blade
you do know it's a pipe ?
if you use the nice yellow bvice blocks you get with th ekit from shimano (ones to hold hose when fitting nipple) you can use this as a guide for you nice sharp new craft knife..
Used cable cutters on standard and braided hoses with no problems.
