I have an mt401 rear brake that I’ve previously cut the hose down on, it’s now too short for the bike I’d like to fit it to.
It has bh59 hose which seems to be out of stock everywhere.
I believe I can use bh90 but the few places I can find with the longer version of this in stock want £35+ for just the hose.
I can buy an mt401 right hand rear brake with a 4100 lever from crc for less than the price of a hose (https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/shimano-deore-m410-disc-brake-m4100-lever-/rp-prod212502).
The hose should just undo from the 4100 right hand lever and go straight into my 401 left hand lever right?
If I don’t need to shorten the hose would I still need best fitting a new barb and olive?
