Anyone replaced a hope hose?
I’ve had a search around and can’t find the info I need annoyingly!
I need longer hoses in my Tech X2’s, stupidly didn’t check hose lengths on purchase, Other than hose length they’re perfect and came with lots of spare new pads!
I don’t need a full replacement kit as all the connectors look as new, just the braided hose needs replacing at a longer length.
This obviously means all the oil will come out of the system and hoses
Basically what I need to know is, If I follow the standard bleed procedure for shortening a hose/bleeding brake, will the hose fill up fine?
Will the caliper and lever stay filled with oil if I keep them level (as with hose shortening)? Thus just needing the hose filling up?
I’ve been quoted 65£ per brake because they want to replace everything including connectors, hopefully I can replace hose and bleed myself for the cost of parts?
Any info appreciated
