Does anyone know the internal diameter of SRAM brake hoses?
I have a bike arriving tomorrow with some DB8 brakes and I'm hoping to put some shimano BH90 brakes on before I ride but hoping not to have to route the internal hose.
As far as I can tell SRAM only do one hose (including the DB8 mineral oil) but just don't say the size...
I guess I can just cable tie if I have to... but I'd rather keep routing the hose until next week if possible especially as the BH90 hose might not arrive until Saturday so I would miss a days riding.
I've got some off my Guides spare, could measure with calipers (or try a Shimano barb in it? Would that help?)
(Will have to be when I get home later.)
They look about the same. My measuring skills aren't up to anything more than that though.

Cheers... doubt that will help. BH90 to BH59 is only 0.2mm and the barb for BH59 is just a bit easier to get into a BH90 than it should be ... it doesn't just push in easily just takes less force than a BH90 one
Bit of luck the hose and bike will arrive and the internal (including bloody headset) might go easier than I expect ...
For the record should anyone be looking... it seems to have worked and the BH90 brakes with BH90 olives seem to be working.
