Cool. I’ll play. A roll for what brand? Shimano? Shimano what? Half of Shimano is Banjo based. Which era SRAM? Cos there’s internal banjo and then there’s flexihose stuff? But aftermarket? Sure, but which fittings kit are you buying? What about hose bore to work with the MC specifics? Shimano barbs and olives don’t fit on Elvedes hoses, you have to get their fittings. So what about Campag, that’s basically Magura no? Do Magura do rolls of the stuff? Let’s do a deep search of aftermarket 50/100m rolls, their aftermarket fittings, and then charge the equivalent.
Awesome, now you’re however much grand deep in your hoses.
You service bike, you quote cost. Oh no too expensive, Person buys online instead and gives you packet.
Now do this for most components, cross compatibility, changes over the years, and account for all sorts of mish mash bikes that come your way.
Happy Knickers indeed.
