[#1158968]

hello bought some new levers (m775 dc 08) need to connect them to lx callipers.Noticed the front hose needs replacing as its worn through the outer caseing in places.Does anyone know if I can re use the existing fittings at the lever end (same thread)? If not where and what to buy? want to avoid the cost of braided

The compression nut can be re-used, but you will need a new olive and barb(about £2).If you buy a Shimano hose kit (you'll probably need to if you have a banjo fitting at the caliper) then they'll be included.

thanks for the offer DeeW but the lx calliper is a straight in connection
thanks for the help people will probably buy this kit though it doesnt make it clear if the compression nut is compatible
