- PRECISE - Use a dedicated tool to insert your barb into your hydraulic brake hose. Instead of hitting the barb with a hammer and potentially damaging the new hydraulic hose or barb. Use the Corki Cycles needle insertion tool to precisely insert the barb into the hydraulic hose, before attaching the olive, and connecting it to the brake lever.
- COMPATIBLE - The Corki Cycles hydraulic hose insert tool is compatible with standard or torqued needles. This includes all press-in-style hose barbs. Enjoy being a bike mechanic and set up your hydraulic brakes at home without the worry of your hose blowing out. Nothing quite beats dialing in and setting up your own bike’s components.
- SIMPLE -When it comes to inserting your new barb into your hydraulic hose attention to detail is needed. The barb insert needs to be inserted correctly or braking performance is affected. The aim with a barb and olive when connecting to either the front or rear brake lever is to form a perfect seal. To ensure a correct fitting brake hydraulic hose, use the Corki Cycles needle insertion tool to remove frustration and save time. No hammers or clamps are needed with our all-in-one insert tool.
- HOW TO USE - To use press the barb a few millimeters into the hydraulic brake hose end. Attach the barb onto the end of the Corki Cycles needle insertion tool. Clamp the hydraulic hose and tighten. Screw the needle tool slowly inserting the barb fully into the hydraulic hose. When fully inserted, unclamp the hose and slide the barb off the needle tool. Inspect the insertion ensuring the hose end is completely sealed by the barb. Add the olive and connect with your brake lever.

Installing hydraulic hose fittings shouldn't be done using a hammer. The delicate brass fittings in the end of a hydraulic hose can be easily crimped or not installed true to the end of the hose, resulting in undesirable brake performance. The corki needle driver is a simple-to-use tool as it magnetically secures the end of a hydraulic hose and allows for easy and gentle installation of hose fittings. The double-ended driver can be switched to work with either standard or torqued needles.
