My lad wiped out today on his Saracen Mantra 2.4, which has Promax Solve hydraulic disc brakes. The hose split, and I am trying to replace it. The insert in the end of the hose is a combined olive/insert with an integral o-ring.
I have not managed to salvage the used one, as it is tightly crimped around the damaged hose and it has not been possible to remove the sheath of the old hose from inside the “olive” end.
I have considered just using a Shimano hose/insert/olive, but I don’t think this will work, as the “insert” end of the promax one is tapered, never mind the o-ring, and the fact it is a 5mm hose.
The part I need is shown in this document, in the “C” figures.
Any tips on where to find one? TIA.
