aaroncosbey Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 HI guys, does anyone have any idea if i can lenghten the hose on my louise disc brake as it is too short. Ive know you can use olives to shorten the hose and lengthen HS-33's. the connection at the calliper looks like this. can it be re used? and do i just have to buy more magura hose??

TheMunn Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Take it to your local bike shop, they should be able to replace the hose for you at what length you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 http://www.magura.com/english/frameset/default.htm ^ Check out the magura site, go onto discs, magura louise etc and download the workshop manual. Should show you how its done :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 if you pop the hose off youll probly be able to see if its an olive (i would have thought so) and fix accordingly :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that i'm switching my brake to a bike that requires the hose to be longer (so that it fits on the handlebar). At the bottom of the hose (the calliper part - in the pic above) the hose looks crimped and im not sure if i can reuse it?? or if i have to buy a new long hose......i'll phone magura in the morning!! :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 The manual says it all the replacement disk hose should come with a prepressed fitting :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
