I can't find the exact model hose that comes with m596 disc brakes, available online. Is another compatible? Perhaps this one http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=14854 ?. It's not the same model number and doesn't mention m596, but none of them do! Any ideas which I need to get? Thanks

    I've always replaced with he Superstar stuff - good quality and available in many colours plus the fittings can be reused.

    I would have thought SLX or ST brake hose should fit.

    the m596 brkaes have hose with straight fittings at both ends; the hose you refer to on CR has banjo fitting (90 degree) so will not fit.
