i am confused about changing my brake hoses on my hayes stroker ryde disc brakes. Do I need to buy new connectors for the end of the hose or can I just pull the original hose off and use the old connectors? If I need to buy new connectors - which ones do I need because nowhere sells any connectors for Hayes stroker ryde disc brakes.

I would be grateful for any help

Thanks

    ask the supplier of the hose as you need them to match the hose and the brakes.

    In a similar position myself with my new Stroker Trails.
    Need to shorten the rear hose but there's nothing on Hayes webbysite and the instructions only refer to fitting,not trimming hose or bleeding (although bleeding looks much the same as HFXs to be honest).

    There is an olive and another bit included,but I'm not willing to risk cutting it just to see..

    You will need a new olive and bushing (unless its a combo one).

    The info you need is on there, alternatively give Hotlines a bell on Monday.

    Not sure if you were replying to me or the OP,but strokers (ryde,trail,carbon) aren't in that list.That's the first place I checked tbh.
    Had a gander on Park too just on the offchance.

    My apologies for hijacking the thread too,but I didn't want to start a new one for what is basically the same problem :oops:
