For the non-LHT levers, you can end up with the hose bending awkwardly into the lever and creating a mess of your brake cable routing. The following worked for me: Fully assemble the hose to the lever follow your instructions in this video. Place the lever on the bar in the desired position. If the desired position creates an awkward twist of the brake hose you can do the following to adjust rotation of the hose in the lever. With the lever in the desired position, mark the "up" portion on the collar (the part that goes over the hose.) Pencil or fine point sharpie works well for this. Next, allow the brake lever to rotate so that the hose is in a natural position near where you would like the lever mounted. Mark the "up" position on the hose near the collar. Remove the lever from the hose and remove the threaded barb from collar. Rotate the "up" mark on the collar to the "up" mark on the hose. Reinstall the threaded barb, being careful to not rotate the collar on the hose. Once seated, thread the hose onto the lever and you should have very minimal hose twist when you mount the lever.
if the hydraulic hose that came with the brakeset is too short, what aftermarket cable brand can we use? Is it compatible with jagwire hydraulic housing?
4:56 If we order a complete brakeset of the titanium version with this anti-leak solution of the hose this pin will then already be preinstalled. Is this pin reusable so you have to pull it out first before you cut the hose and then reinstall it? I just wonder how careful you'd have to be not to damage that thing so it would be good if you offered spares of these things as well because you can quickly be standing there with a bit of a dilemma.
No there are no spare olive and pin with my Lewis LHT. I brought it from the US to Germany. Now installing and need to remove the pin because the hose was too much compressed and the main screw doesn't go off. No a Problem to get the parts in 2 days so I can bring my bike to the 3 weeks vacations. Bummer

did you have to buy anything externally, gonna do this with my lv4s and curious to know what u had to buy to make this work
@@uweb773 No. The parts are all reusable. No olive/barb to replace. Just some sharp cutters and an awl to widen the hole a bit.

EZmtb Oil hose

Hi we offer a pair of extra pins and olives together with the LHT brakes.
