Brake line lengths between Tilt and N9

racefit said:

Bit of a quirky question, but I want to install a new set of brakes on my N9 (temporarily) that I will soon move over to the Tilt. I don’t want to cut the lines too short, and ideally only once. Wondering if anyone can give me an idea how similar/different the rear line run is between a size M N9 and Tilt.

Since the Tilt has partial internal routing you'll have to disconnect the hose from the lever anyway when you switch the brakes over. That being the case I think I'd error slightly long on the N9 rear brake hose so it can be trimmed perfectly when you switch it over to the Tilt. I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to hose/cable length though.

If the stack heights and fork travel are similar between the 2 bikes then the front hose length would probably be ok for both. Again, not such a big deal to trim it a little shorter though.

I wouldn't cut it at all until on the final bike. Zip tie the extra
