Greetings, cyclists and those interested in bike repair and maintenance. We received an order for hydraulic bike brakes and asked to shorten them to fit a bicycle, but the owner cannot bring the bike to us because he lives in another city. New hydraulic bike brakes in the box usually have a length margin, so they need to be shortened for each bike. In this video, I will show you how to shorten the lines in hydraulic bicycle brakes step by step without losing braking quality. I hope that this video will be interesting, informative and useful.
