mods Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 braided hoses don't use a compression to form a seal.. so no olive is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Unex doesnt use them, neither does hope or magura braided. All of which ive had at some point. Everything but hope = gash anyways FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
