I have front and rear Hope Tech EVO X2 Hydraulic brakes (with braided lines) *NEW up for sale.

I bought them a week ago and found out (stupid me) that the rear cable on my bike is 1750mm Sad and these are not long enough, unfortunately i can't return them because i did a test install and have left a mark on the bolt hole of the front brake, so they wont swap them so my loss is your gain.

the brakes are brand new - took them out of the box and literally test fitted them to the bike, they look great but as indicated the rear is too short.

i am willing to part with them for $160 each or $300 if you take both - thats $50 off the sale price i got.

PM me if interested - pick up Manly area.

You should be able to replace the hose with a longer one and re-bleed the brakes. They look like standard braided hoses that you can source locally but I'd check with Hope first, they may even just send out a longer section in the name of good customer service.

Here's there vid on shortening a hose, just play it backwards.

Mate has hope on his bike and they look a lot easier than any other systems but you be better off ordering a new rear line

Was wondering what Shakespeare had to do with brakes.....

its going to cost me $60 + labour to do the lines again and to be honest i couldn't be bothered, i'd rather just pick up the M4's i have on order.

If I had the money I'd take them off your hands it is a breeze to do just order a new brake line too easy
