My frame has internal routing for the dropper and the rear brake, both of which are hydraulic.
I need to strip the frame down to send it back to Pace (more on this follows), which means I'll need to cut the hose for the rear brake as the olive won't go through the holes in the frame.
I don't know how long the frame will be away, so my thinking is to put a fresh olive and barb in the hose and reconnect to the lever, but of course I'd need to cut the hose again when the frame comes back. This seems a bit wasteful, but I can't think of another way of doing it which doesn't involve this, but I'm also concerned about shortening the hose too much (possibly, might be fine).
The dropper I think I can just pull through and re-connect, as it has large rubber grommets.
Thoughts, hive-mind?
Also, could anyone lucky enough to live on the Continent who might be willing to post me a crank please make themselves known?
