magura hose lengths

[cce]

how long would i need magura hoses to be on a 19in kona frame?

there is no exact length, just make sure you can turn the bars "full lock" without the hose becoming to tight (therefore risking slitting/pulling) & without the hose being waaaay to long!

I have HS33's on a Bontrager 19.5" Frame. Will get you a rough measurement if you want.

that would be good thanks!

These are approximate! The bike is sort of trapped in the garage at the moment but I have traced the hoses with a piece of string as best I can. Why not use an old/new conventional cable outer to follow the same route as the hose will take? That will let you get the exact length you need! To give you an idea though here you go:

Front: 610mm.
Rear: 1220mm.

I will try to remember to get the bike out tomorrow and measure them a bit more carefully.

i use maguras on most of my bikes.

Hose length isnt really important when it comes to performance but if they are the wrong length , they are really simple and cheap to replace.
