Does anyone have some Hope brake hose - 6mm.

I have an old Mono M4 which needs the cable extending from a front brake to a rear brake. I wondered if anyone happened to have some hose kicking around, or more likely, a buggered rear brake which is only good for the bin?

Hope don't sell it any more, and their new hose which I've ordered and has arrived is a smaller OD. 5mm maybe.

I need it for a rear brake, so ~2 meters max I guess.

Just thought it might worth a post on the off chance.

5mm hose will fit if you can get the smaller fittings for each end.

The goodridge hose won't work on its own. You need to get the specific connectors to fit.
Also goes for all the hose kits, but £20-30 should get you a kit for front and rear brakes.
