FAQs
Does this kit include fittings?
The kit is intended as a replacement hose; ensure you retain your existing banjo bolts or fittings, or purchase them separately if they are worn.
Can I trim this hose to a shorter length?
Yes, the hose can be trimmed to fit your specific frame size using a professional hose cutter.
Is this compatible with mechanical disc brakes?
No, this hose is designed exclusively for hydraulic disc brake systems.
What type of brake fluid should I use?
Always use the brake fluid type specified on your brake lever or master cylinder (typically DOT 5.1 or DOT 4 for Avid systems).
Do I need special tools for the installation?
You will need a bleed kit, a hose cutter, and standard hex or Torx wrenches.
Troubleshooting
Spongy brake lever feel after installation
Air is trapped in the line; perform a full system bleed according to the manufacturer's manual.
Fluid leaking at the connection point
Ensure the olive is crushed correctly and the compression nut is tightened to the recommended torque specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this kit, you will need a dedicated hose cutter to ensure a clean, square end, and the appropriate Avid-compatible brake fluid and bleed kit. Proper installation involves removing the old hose, measuring the new hose against the old one, and securing it with the correct fittings. Always ensure that the barb and olive are properly seated before tightening the compression nut. After installation, the system must be bled thoroughly to remove any trapped air. Inspect the hose periodically for signs of abrasion, particularly near pivot points or where the hose contacts the frame.
