    On the new bike i made a bit of an error with the hoses. I didn’t put grips on until last and the levers had to move out by a few cm; now the hoses look a bit short.

    The bars are free to spin 180° but the hoses stop them short just past 90°.

    This wont be an issue normally but i’m sure sometimes in a crash you come up with the front wheel backwards?

    Do i need a new brake and dropper hose?

    Yes! sure each hose goes around the headtube and not straight to the frame.
