The Shimano SM-BH90 brake hose has a bore diameter of 2.1 mm.
This hose is specifically designed for ZEE M640 but is generally compatible with many Shimano hydraulic disc brakes that use a banjo fitting at the caliper. Always confirm compatibility with your specific brake model.
The hose comes complete with a cutting tool guide, an olive, and an insert to aid in installation.
Yes, the 1700 cm length is sufficient for most rear brake applications and can be cut to fit shorter front brake runs as well, provided compatibility is confirmed.
A clean, square cut with the provided guide, proper seating of the insert, and correct tightening of the olive and fitting are crucial for a leak-free connection. Bleeding the brakes after installation is also essential.
The resin coating contributes to the hose's stiffness and durability, helping it perform under pressure and maintain brake sharpness without expanding.
This usually indicates air in the brake line. The system needs to be bled. Ensure the hose connections are tight and not leaking.
The hose may not have been cut cleanly, or the olive/insert was not installed correctly. Re-cut the hose, ensure the insert is fully seated, and re-install the olive and fitting. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
If too long, it can be carefully re-cut to the desired length using the provided guide. If too short, a new, longer hose will be required.
Compatibility: This SM-BH90 hose is specifically designed for Shimano ZEE M640 hydraulic disc brake systems. While it might be adaptable to other Shimano systems, confirm compatibility with your specific lever and caliper models before purchase. Ensure your lever and caliper use a banjo fitting at the caliper end.
