I'm extending my front hose on my M4's so I can use the longer settings on my Rockshox forks.
I've done a full bleed of my system umpteen times, removed calipers etc, so i'm quite happy with this aspect.
I'm getting some new hose, but there is no stock of the olives required to make an airtight seal at each end of the hose. Can I re-use the old ones? Anyone done this successfully?
yep, olives are split, so are easy to remove and reuse. Just prise open gently with a screwdriver.

I used one of them - excellent, all the parts there. I have re-used olives before but got to be really careful you don't knacker them in the process.
yup, Hope olives are reuseable, as Tiboy says, just prise them open carefully.
careful peeling out the little insert that goes in the end of the hose, i found it tried to pull a little bit of the inner lining of the hose out, anyone else found this?
Thanks for the advice!
I should have a couple in the tool box if you get stuck, mail me if you require them.
I have fitted the goodridge hose to my hopes without using any goodridge fittings, just reused all the hope bits including olives.
