Extending hydraulic brake hose is quick and easy? Yes!

Extending hydraulic brake hose is quick and easy? Yes!
So now it is only a matter of cutting, extending, connecting, bleeding and just ride away.

Your customer would like to raise the handlebar on their bike, but the brake hose is too short. Replacing the existing brake hose for longer ones can be a challenging job. Elvedes offers you the perfect solution to easily extend the original brake hose.

Internal hose and cable routing

Manufacturers now choose more often to internally route hydraulic brake hose and cables. This looks much better, but a quick replacement of the brake hose or cable during a repair session will not be easy. It can turn out to be a long-lasting and complicated job, like when an e-bike with mid-motor has to be disassembled to be routed through the frame.

Make your job more easy and fun

Elvedes follows the market for bike replacement parts closely. From there they offer, under their own Elvedes brand, high quality solutions as an alternative for the original parts. The products are qualitatively similar to the original parts, but they will always try to add something more for an even better result. Feedback from the market is valuable and essential. Besides from following the market, they always look for better solutions to make working in your bike workshop more easy and fun.  The hydraulic hose extension kit is a perfect example.

Hose extension kits for 6 popular brands

The extension hose has an aluminium coupler with a connection for a M8 compression bolt on both sides. The hydraulic brake hose will be disassembled from the calliper or brake lever and the old olive and needle will be cut off. From here, you can extend the brake hose with the extension hose kit. As bike manufacturers often choose hydraulic brake systems from a well-known brand as specification for a bike, Elvedes offers an extension kit for the six most popular brands with all necessary parts, including 50cm Elvedes brake hose.

So now it is only a matter of cutting, extending, connecting, bleeding and just ride away!

Workshop packaging

Aside from the extension kits for each brand, Elvedes also offers workshop packaging with all the parts and corresponding compression bolts in case you would like to extend with the original brake hose, original olives and original inserts.
