Avid Hose KIT Hydraulic Disc Brake

The Avid Hose KIT is a hydraulic disc brake hose replacement package designed for cyclists maintaining Avid braking systems. The kit centers on a 2-meter length of hydraulic brake hose — long enough to accommodate either a front or rear brake line on most bicycle frames. Included alongside the hose are two compression nuts, two compression fitting/olives, and two hose barbs, providing complete hardware for terminating both ends of the hose at the brake lever and caliper.

Installation involves cutting the hose to the correct length for your specific frame and routing, inserting the hose barbs, sliding on the compression olives, and securing the connections with the compression nuts at the lever and caliper fittings. After installation, a full brake system bleed is required to purge air and restore consistent braking feel and performance. This kit is best suited for riders with some mechanical experience or access to a bike shop for final setup. It serves as a practical and economical option for replacing cracked, kinked, or degraded brake hoses rather than purchasing an entirely new brake assembly.
