Anyone fitted the casa disc brake hose with the inline brake fitting. I presume unlike the venhill type the banjo isn't removable. I don't want to slot headset bottom I want to drill a hole in the side so will it have to be the size of the banjo to pass it through then find a grommet suitable to cover it.

there should be the right sized grommet with the kit for the headset

I wondered what the grommet on the hose was for. Thought it was a bit bulky for headset. Thanks for that. Will get drill out

Can you tell me if you fitted this and what size drill bit used to create
the hole in headset bottom

The ‘proper’ braided steel hoses comprising a compression fitting at each end, are dismantle-able so that, if you’re brave enough, the hole in the headset only need be clearance for the hose, not all the gubbins on each end…..

. I have sent it off for engraving but if I remember right I measured centre of grommet which I think was 14mm which looks massive but is right for the rubber grommet which is on hose.
