A.thin.wire.may.be.helpful.for.inserting.the.brake.hose.through.the.
bicycle.frame...
Run.it.in.the.opposite.direction.through.the.outlet.to.the.inlet.of.the.
frame.and.fix.it.to.the.end.of.the.brake.hose.with.adhesive.tape..Do.not.
insert.the.wire.into.the.brake.hose.–.you.will.lose.oil!..
Carefully.pulling.with.the.wire.and.pushing.the.brake.hose.at.the.same.
time.will.make.it.easier.to.find.the.outlet.
