My front avid juicy 5 has been playing up for a while, i thought i might of accidentaly sprayed some bike spry on there. washed the rotor with warm soapy water and used wet and dry paper on the pads but to no avail. i looked at the brak and followed the hose and i realised i had a squashed hose. Annoying especially when i'm due to go to Cwmcarn on sunday. so what do i do? shall i go to my LBS (Don Skene) and ask for a new hose to be put on, and will it have to be rebled? how much do youthink t will cost at a LBS? otherwise, where can you get avid juicy 5 hoses, just the normal ones for a non-extortionate price? many thanks

use it as is for now, but yes it does need replacing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

where is the squashed bit? if its at one end could you not cut that bit off if you have enough length? i know brake will need rebleeding but may save a couple of quid?0

Unless the end is machine crimped..."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

true was just a thought, i've found braided hoses to be of huge benefit0
