XT M755 brake hose

[zac]

Hey all. I need to replace the hose on some m755 brakes and was just wondering if there're any bodges out there for this - the only original ones I've found on ebay are way too long... I've found these which look like they might work (and am assuming there's a non Temu equivalent that I might be able to get...)
Does anyone have any experience with making their own hoses with something like these?

U can use a standard Shimano hose with a banjo at the caliper end and olive at the lever.

The lines have banjo connections at both ends... anyone know if the banjo is the same size for the new stuff as for the m755?

No you can't, the 755s have banjos at both ends.

I dunno then. It’s what I had on mine until I swapped out to some goodridge lines

Otherwise just grab some deore levers and run the new lines with the old calipers

So in theory, could I get one of those and put it in the other end of one of these?

maybe?

Jagwire also has a banjo kit of sorts.. (2x = maybe HFA301?) eg https://melbournepowered.com.au/products/jagwire-hyflow-fitt-shimano
no idea if it works with Shimano hose (they say just Jagwire hose)

I did see that... might go to the lbs with half an idea (me, not them) and see what they say - if people are making frankenbrakes with 755 callipers and newer levers/hoses then maybe... i do have a set of newer brakes (mt200 maybe?) i could convert, but would rather keep them whole if i can cause the old levers feel nicer

wonder if Enzed or similar can recrimp your old fittings? (after cutting off collar...) may be too small or non-common size...?
