I need to replace the rear brake on my Charge Blender, I've got a Avid Elixir 1 to go on but I was wondering how difficult it is as I don't live near a bike shop.

Thanks

Do you need to shorten the hose? If you do make sure you watch a few decent tutorials and have the correct fluid and be careful not to get any anywhere near braking surfaces or painted surfaces.

This is a decent overview. It's pretty simple

Thanks for everyone's help no I don't need to shorten it so that should make it a bit easier and that tutorial is really helpful.
