bagre15 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 So, I recently got a trialzone brake with tech levers, but the hose that came with the brake was too short. I have an echo disc brake hose and a would like to know if I can use it with the hope fittings and install it in the brake. If not I would like to know about a hose that would be compatible with a hope brake. P.S: I live in Brazil, so I don't have direct access to original hope hoses. Thanks, and sorry for the bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Pretty sure the hope fittings won't work with the Echo hose, is there a problem ordering from Tartybikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 There isn't any problem with Tartybikes, the problem is that I have to pay 100% if I buy from outside Brazil, so it would be better if I could find an option that is not Tarty. If I can't find any I will end up buy from Tarty. How about hope fittings on shimano or avid hoses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 What do you mean by you have to pay 100%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'd guess that due to taxes / import / postage or something if a part was say £10 on tarty he'd have to pay £20 to get it to his door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think Hope fittings on Echo disc hose will work, try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the help Adam, I will give it a try. Are the hope fittings reuseable? And about the taxes, if I pay £10 on Tarty I will have to pay around £10 worth of taxes. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
