What brake hose and pads do I need

[jim55]

I thought I'd just bleed the brake to find the hose has been cut 😳 it's a fixer upper I got to sell on ,so IL need to replace hose ,theirs no number on caliper but it's a Shimano unit,got a decent picture of pads / lever ,the pads are very worn so IL replace them as well I need to recable the front derailleur trigger shifter ( which IV no idea how to lol)as well, YouTube no d

Those are the ubiquitous B01S pads - easily found everywhere, used across a few applications.
Search for BL-M395 hose and you'll also find a few options, not expensive. You'll need a Shimano bleed kit and fluid too.

Don't forget that there are 2 types of brake cable insert that go with the olives. One is silver the other gold, and they are slightly different. Be sure to check which type you need, I think it is BH-59

IV got a Shimano kit containing mineral oil ,the stuff that dropped out it was kinda yellow/green but new stuff is red?

 

[SheilaH]

Shimano min oil is red, yes.

Did it used to b green then ,maybe somebody has used dot4 / car stuff in past

Mineral oil brake fluid for cars (aka LHM) is dyed green, to avoid the possibility of misusing it in a system intended for DOT 3/4/5.1 (glycol-ether type). Should be fine for use in Shimano mineral oil systems; the important point is to never mix glycol and mineral fluids and always use the right type for your brakes.
