2.3 Assembly of hose
Length and attachment of hoses:
The hoses have to be attached to the frame and fork so that they do not contact the wheel or tire, or
interfere with the travel of the suspension or the action of steering. Use the bike’s cable guides and zip
ties to attach the hoses. Also be sure that the hose is not so long as to possibly snag on anything while
riding.
A hose that is too short may cause steering problems but can also cause strain on the hose which may
result in the hose getting disconnected from the caliper of brake lever.
For maximum efficiency of the system, it is very important that the hoses are without kinks and have the
correct length.
Changing the length of a hose should be done by an authorised Giant dealer.
After assembling the brake lever, put the
caliper (front brake) from the front side to the
backside through the opening between left
hand fork leg and front wheel and fix the
caliper to the dropout
(see: “assembly of caliper”).
Fix the hose of the front brake to the front
fork.
Use zip-ties or other parts to fix the hose to
the fork brace and the lower fork leg
(left hand side).
Fix the hose of the rear brake to the frame.
Push the hose into the hose guides on the
top tube and the left hand seat stay.
