Just noticed...I am no longer in agreement with my above statement.I've changed it again
Formula have their own fittings at the caliper so you will need to use their line.So ordered myself some Formula Cura 4 brakes to upgrade from the Shimano MT420, 4-Piston on my ebike. I have bled brakes plenty of times but never done an internally routed install or cut lines hence the stupid question's post.
Thanks burners.
- Will I be able to use the existing shimano hoses or need to swap them out?
- If the hoses can be used are different brand mineral oils compatible or do I need to flush the lines to use formula mineral oil (purchased with the brakes)?
- Is it worth buying hydraulic brake needle driver tool for the job ZTTO Ali express needle driver or will a vice and large hammer be sufficient
Thanks Litenbror sounds like I have a plan just hope I can avoid the confessions thread when it comes time to internally route the hoses.Formula have their own fittings at the caliper so you will need to use their line.
I don't have the formula mineral oil but was assured that Shimano would be fine but have a lower temperature tolerance.
Hammer and vice, it's how I did it.
I can't remember if mine came with the levers on or off but everything I needed to shorten the hoses was in the box.Thanks Litenbror sounds like I have a plan just hope I can avoid the confessions thread when it comes time to internally route the hoses.
Hose guide, so it doesn't rub on the stanchion.I feel like an idiot asking…but what does this thing do on the Intend fork?

Ah yeah, that makes sense. Never seen one on a bike.Hose guide, so it doesn't rub on the stanchion.
I've always been tempted, but never been able to justify the expense. Maybe one day. Probably not.Ah yeah, that makes sense. Never seen one on a bike.

I’m yet to experience an USD without horrific twist flex. I know they’re trying to overcome that with this design, but even full dual crown USD forks used to be terrible. Forward/back was excellent, twist was terrible without the arch.I've always been tempted, but never been able to justify the expense. Maybe one day. Probably not.
