Fitting rear brake onto a Pace 303 frame...

My brakes turned up this morning and I've installed the front. But due to the cable routing on the frame, I think I'm going to have to disconnect from the caliper and thread through the frame.

Is it possible to do this without having to rebleed the brakes (as I don't have the bleed kit!)

    Its like the routing on my Turner. Basically, you will need to split the brake and re-bleed. I had a shop do this as I couldn't be bothered.

    When I was originally getting XT's the guy in the shop said I'd be ok to disconnect and reconnect if I was careful...

    But this is not possible with Juicy's? I might pop up Leisure Lakes and speak to Dave and see if he'll do it on quickly for me.

    Ooh... Does anyone know where you get those little u shaped hose clips? Zip ties look so messy!
