Product Information

Full details

Designed for mountain bikers and cycling enthusiasts using the Clarks M2 hydraulic brake system, these Olive and Insert Brake Adaptors are essential components for maintaining precise hydraulic hose connections. They provide a secure, leak-proof seal that ensures consistent braking performance during demanding rides. While they are highly effective, please note that these components are strictly engineered for the M2 series and require proper hydraulic tools for installation to prevent damage to the hose.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I reuse these after removing the hose?

No, the olive deforms during the initial installation to create a seal and must be replaced with a new one every time the connection is opened.

Are these compatible with other Clarks brake models?

These are specifically designed for the M2 series; check your specific brake model documentation for compatibility with other series.

Do I need special tools for installation?

A sharp hose cutter is recommended for a clean edge, and an insertion tool is highly recommended to safely press the barb into the hose.

What does the gold finish signify?

The gold finish is the standard aesthetic for the M2 series components and has no impact on technical performance.

Does this package include the hydraulic hose?

No, this kit includes only the olive and the insert barb required for the hose connection.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy after installation

The system likely contains air; perform a full bleed of the M2 brake system to remove trapped air bubbles.

Hydraulic fluid leaking at the connection

Check if the olive was properly compressed and ensure the connection nut is tightened to the correct torque specification.

Pros and Cons

High-quality material construction for longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires professional-grade hydraulic hose cutters and a needle driver tool to insert the barb into the hose without damaging the liner. First, ensure the hose is cut cleanly at a 90-degree angle. Slide the compression nut onto the hose, followed by the olive, and then press the insert into the end of the hose. Once assembled, tighten the compression nut into the lever or caliper housing according to the torque specifications provided in your M2 brake manual. Avoid using excessive force, as over-tightening can strip the threads or damage the olive seating area.
