Will this kit be suitable for the new style XTR disc's?

Everything in the picture makes sense, but the description is misleading. Ebay Shimano hose is about £5 posted, but by the time I have also bought new olives & inserts I'm up near the cost of the kit which also includes the handy hose clamps.

Cheers

It looks very similar to the hose I've just fitted to my XTR's. I'd say yes.

I've got a set of hoses for XTR 975s in my parts cupboard. I replaced them with Goodridge

Uncut with all fittings, £12 posted for both ends?

Hi Daffy,

Thanks for the offer, are they an unused kit or have they been fitted and thus the olives already crushed?

They're used. so you'd need new olives if you're going to shorten the hoses. If you're going to use them as they are, then you just plug and go (bleed first obviously)

Thanks Daffy, but I'm sorted now.
