Avid Elixir hose adjustment problem

Darra8

Hi Guys,

I have just fitted my rear caliper to a new frame and need to adjust the angle of the hose, so I can clip it to the frame. The Elixir has the ability to adjust the angle, but If I slacken the banjo bolt to adjust the hose, will I lose oil and need to re bleed?

Many thanks,

Steve

Just slacken the banjo bolt a small amount sufficent so you can twist the hose then nip up bolt straight away as soon as you have angle right. You dont need to undo it more than about quarter of a turn, If you hold the hose pushing it carefully but not too hard in the direction you want it to go while you undo bolt you will feel it start to move. Be careful the banjo bolt is made out of fairly soft metal use a socket (a 6 point one is best) dont use a open ended spanner or it will go expensively wrong.
