Afternoon

I'm going to need a new brake hose for my SLX rear brake which I believe takes the BH-90 hose. But looking on CRC, there are three versions of BH-90, one for Saint, one for Zee and one for XT/SLX/Deore.

Is there any difference between these as they are all slightly different in price (with the Zee being cheapest?)?

    Do some come with or without banjo fittings?

    looking at SLX caliper, it's pictured with a banjo fitting - so get one of those - suggest the XT/SLX one.
    I have deore and they do not have a banjo fitting.
    not sure if the zee will be compatible - might be

    Yeah, the SLX brakes have a banjo and I was looking at the hose kit which comes with fittings. CRC have the Saint and Zee hose in black for the rear but the XT/SLX (might not have been Deore as well) is only in white for the rear.

    ^^^ these guys list a black, not sure if they state in stock or not - might be worth a punt?
