As per title, is it possible to fit Goodridge braided hose to Avid Juicy 5's, I've looked on CRC and Goodridge have adapters for nearly every other make but not Avid. So im assuming its either not posible or the fitments supplied in the bleed kit are all I would need?

Thanks

Oddy

    Juicy 5 listed here on the Goodridge webby:

    Dunno what they mean by "N.B. Use original bolts" though.

    Maybe talk to then get an LBS that sells goodridge stuff to order it in for you. If the bits don't fit then return them to the LBS for a refund.

  • I think Avid don't recommend using any different hoses than their own.

    Yes you can use Goodridge on Avids you have to re use the original Banjo bolt on the caliper as it has the bleed screw in it.

    All the brake manufacturers reccomend you should only use there hose for the simple reason they want to sell you a mega expensive length of hose with there name on it even though its probably made in the same factory in Taiwan
