[Closed] shimano brake hose?

bought some new slx brakes for the missus' bike, but the rear hose was nowhere near long enough.

I can't find anywhere that sells the standard Shimano hose... Can anyone point me to somewhere? Not really interested in braided hose or pretty colours; just want the bog standard stuff which I can cut to length and fit using new olives and pins - don't need new nuts.

dibbs - that comes with the connectors for each end, so it costs a fortune; i just want some off the roll.

iainc - i'll check out swinnertons, thanks.

I don't think they do it on the roll. Always seems to come with connectors (fixed for XT/Saint etc.)

it must come off a roll at some point ๐Ÿ™‚

just need to find someone who will sell me it; no joy on swinnertons (although I did get bored with their search function and horrible website).
