I'm stuck.

New to disc brakes, thought Id shorten the hoses.
I followed the Shimano document but when I put a new olive on it wants to slide over the barb?

On the end I cut off the olive is an interference fit.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers.

Also, whats this?

1.That’s right…the sleeve will compress the olive over the barb insert when you tighten it to the lever.
2.Bin material.

Ah, many thanks. Confirmed my thinking.

Dont suppose you could walk me through bleeding too? Ist timer 😳

Got the kit though, instructions look like double dutch.

No…but I know a man who will

2 prevents caliper bolts from coming loose. Kids, how many caliper bolts have we had come loose this year?

Rorschach

Cheers.
