I need to replace the braided hose as it's got a nick in it and is leaking under the plastic sheath. I would like to do this as cheaply as possible - so a new hose kit at £30 doesn't appeal! I know how much of a pain re-using the olives can be on braided hose, but if I buy some black hose instead of braided, would the fittings all still work? Specifically the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope-hose-black/rp-prod126 ]5mm black hose on CRC[/url], as I think the braided stuff which is already on there is 5mm.
Cheers,
Front or rear?
I think I have black front Hope hose somewhere - possibly with fittings in
Front for now - though the rear is looking a bit dodgy as well so I might change that too. I can get the hose alone for £3.50/m so would probably do both at the same time if the fittings work.
I just did mine changed the olive and insert but the rest was reused. If you are careful there is no reason you could not reuse them to though
Got 3 olives and 4 inserts in the spares box, chuck a few ££ in a Charity box and there yours if you want?
