I got this
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4709

to fit my XTR M985 brakes - My understanding that would fit both front and rear - but due to the length it will not. -am happy to buy a extra length to fit the front too, but my question is will the fittings that are included in the pack which they do both front and rear or will I need to buy another kit?

Thanks
Tim

You've got the kit in front of you, not us!

The description says it will fit front [b]or[/b] rear. Not both. You need to buy another kit.

Can i ask why are you going Good ridge? I thought the XTR trails were very powerful?

I got the brakes second hand and the rear hose is not long enough, so I thought I would upgrade the hoses.

There won't be enough fittings to do 2 brakes; there might be enough hose, depending on how big your bike is and what travel forks you've got.

From memory you'll need one of these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=20446

and two of these:

Use the shimano banjo bolts & o-rings.

Braided hoses are heavy, bit pointless on M985s.
