Help me, ltwoo r9 brake
« on: March 29, 2026, 09:17:35 AM »
Hi guys, I need your help. I’m currently changing the handlebar and stem on my GV201 gravel bike. While disconnecting the brakes to redo the internal routing, I noticed that my current setup uses olives and inserts with O-rings (as seen in my photo).



 However, the LTWOO tutorial shows them without O-rings.
​Before buying replacements, I did some research and everyone told me they should be like the ones in the tutorial—without the O-ring.
​What should I do? Which ones are the correct ones? If I do need the version with the O-ring, where can I find them? I can't find them in stock on AliExpress, and I’m not sure what keywords to use to find them on Amazon Italy.
​Thanks!

Unless there is complete designchange between the R9 and ER9 - which i doubt - standard Shimano BH59 should work without any problem. No O-ring needed.
