|   Disc hose on a Manitou Black? | teamdicky
Nov 18, 2002 5:08 AM | | I am looking for pics of the hose routing (HAYES) on a Manitou Black. I can't figure out a way to do it cleanly. Without the brace to zip tie to, I am confused. ARGH! |

My 2002 Fuel90Disk came with Black Elite 80/100's and Hayes Hydro. The left V-brake boss has a plain button head bolt holding down a 3 inch clip into which the hose gently but firmly snaps. It works great to allow enough slack for fork travel without the hose flying in the breeze/in danger of snagging. The clip is made of steel wire, about like a large paper clip except maybe twice as long and thick. You could try calling TREK and begging a free replacement, or bending up a piece of coat hanger or the propper type wire...??? The brake boss end is a loop and then after a 20 degree bend in the middle, an open 2/3 loop at 90 degrees holds the hose.
Alternatively, a simple tie wrap of the type including a mounting hole at the clamp end would be a compromise, bolted into the brake boss? |
