Hose Clips???

[Mr Pig]

Can't find them!!

My bike has little black 'U' clips holding the hydraulic brake hoses to their guides. Some bikes have cable ties but there are quite a few bikes have these 'U' clips. I think they're a good idea because should the cable snag on something they just ping off rather than pulling the cable. Great that is except that I can't find any!

I've asked in bike shops, looked the net but I can't find any. Help!

These look like they may do http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Magura_Alloy_Hose_Guide/5360009793/ it says the hose just clips in.

Never had this as a problem, even on the On-One where the hose goes through the brazed on guides.

No, these things:

I just want a few spares as they ping off easily, I've already lost one. Can I find a shop that sells them? Can I stuff.

Not seen those. What brand of brake?

 

[Mr Pig]

Shimano but I'm pretty sure it's not a Shimano part, I've seen them on quite a few bikes.

They look a lot tidier than cable ties too.

Found some!

Also, this is £350 including delivery for a packet of TEN. Which is about a third of the price of other shops.

Sorry Mr pig I have had a look on all the trade sites I have the codes for and can not find them?

 

[Mr Pig]

Sorry Mr pig, can not find them?

Thank you for looking, I couldn't find them either, but I think I've got them. The link above takes you to a shop that seems to have them. The couple of other shops that listed them were out of stock. Plus it's a packet of ten. The other shops were that price plus postage for a packet of four or five!

Just hope they show up ;0) Thank you again for looking :0)

 

[Mr Pig]

And they're £3.50, not £350 !!! ;0)

Well done. £350 would have been a bit steep.

Pedal On mail order has always been OK for me but a few mates have had issues with the shop

I've never heard of them but £3.50 I'll risk.
