Title: SRAM brake hose replacement
Post by: Kamool on March 15, 2026, 05:44:32 PM
Unfortunately, I cannot shorten my rear Force AXS brake hose anymore, so I have to replace that. I don't want to buy a whole SRAM set with olives and barbs, because I have a lot of spares. I'm looking for just a brake hose. Anything you can recommend? I've seen EZmtb K28 brake hose and A2Z PVDF-5.0, but are those worth it?

Which one is for SRAM? Is that 5.0mm OD and 2.2mm ID (Magura)? I've found information that it should be 2.1mm ID, and there is no such hose.

I've used this in the past:

It works fine, no complaints.

I had these. Not very suitable for integrated bars as the hose is very stiff. Normally I use Trickstuff Beta Kevlar hoses.

That do you mean by "these"? EZmtb or A2Z?

This is true, it's stiffer than the original hose. In my experience it's still possible to route in a fully internal setup but may not be the easiest solution for those who don't do this often.

I do this often but there is chance that you bend the line because of its stiffness
