Hope 6mm hose problem

nihontobiker · Feb 28, 2015

I am currently building a run a round buke and have threw some old hope E4 brakes on it they come with 6mm hoses but front was way to short.
And it is hard to find 6mm hose.
So if i was to fit 5mm hose would i just need a new olive or could i file down the 6mm olive?
Or would i need a whole new set of connectors?

Alternatively could i fit 5.5mm braided steel hoses without issue?

Thanks for your time

What type of fitting to the lever and calliper?

Usually it is a banjo or hollow bolt.

Both ends have a banjo and then a bolt going through the banjo

What length do you need ?, i should have a few 6mm. Might have some new ones too :? Just depends on length.

I need 850mm as they are on a set of 888rc forks
Thanks dyna-ti may get away with 820mm but anything over would be great

^^ Youll also need the banjos

One here off a sport lever. Again a banjo is required unless it is sport you have :?
