I get stuff delivered to my work address so don't have the letterbox problem. The size of the boxes compared to the contents is getting a bit silly, mind you, though I guess a plain old box is more recyclable than a Jiffy envelope (but better still to try and re-use packaging of any sort).
Have given up using them now as I don't have the time to get to the depot for collection till weekend and small parts are usually something I need now.
don't those actually go in the hose ??
where as the threaded bit goes over the hose, squeezing the olive between said threaded bit and brake/caliper body.
could be wrong but thats how it works with shimano hydros
