Recommended installation: Hydraulic brake hoses (cut and reinstall)
Hydraulic brake fittings called olives and barbs are the small but essential parts that create a leak free seal when installing or servicing brake hoses. The olive compresses around the outside of the hose, while the barb (also called an insert or needle) slides into the hose to keep it secure when clamped into the lever or caliper.
Keeping the correct type on hand makes brake bleeds and hose cuts quick, clean, and reliable. These are brand specific parts, so choosing the right size for your brake system is key.
