• To answer your question, I'd say yes.

    Tho advice given to me when cutting braided brake lines for motorbikes was to wrap the area you are going to cut with masking tape as it stops the outer edges becoming frayed.

    Aren't they just normal hydraulic hoses? As SRAM use dot 5.1 brake fluid Just got a three line for a motor bike made and delivered with stainless steel ends for £66 so 50 feels steep. Will give feed back on the motorbike thread.

    Actually just brought some sram front and rear flat bar hydraulic brakes for £40 or £20 each from tredz. Could this be a cheap source of hose for you?https://www.tredz.co.uk/.SRAM-Level-Disc-Brake_91926.htm

    Also maybe give think automotive a call, they have been my first port of call for strange stuff on motorbikes and cars.

  • I do have some spare hose but the problem is the proprietary banjo that comes crimped on new hoses. Not something you can fit on a length of new hose yourself easily.

  • The correct compatible banjo connectors can be bought on AliX

    Get a couple meters of cheap hose on alix or amazon and add the alix Banjo.

  • Might be worth while to speak to think automotive or if you have a hydraulic specialist near by. Have had automotive hydraulic hoses that the old crimped end was removed and the fitting reused. This was on an oil feed to a turbo. The replacement line was tested on a pressure test kit to what ever brake and hydraulic lines.

    Or if they can extend the lines, once again have had this sort of stuff done for joining up two bandit 6 oil rads, as the fittings on the radiators are bolt on the rad and not sold separately. The temp set up on the car worked so well the system stayed like that.
