Jagwire Olive

The olive acts as a compression bushing that creates a secure, airtight seal between the hydraulic hose and the brake lever or caliper. It is essential for preventing fluid leaks and maintaining the necessary pressure for consistent braking performance.

No, this specific part is engineered exclusively for compatibility with SRAM and Avid hydraulic disc brake systems. You should verify your specific brake model to ensure it uses this standard compression fitting.

Yes, olives are designed to be a one-time-use component. Once the olive has been compressed during the initial installation, it deforms to create a seal and cannot be reused reliably; you must install a new one whenever the hose is disconnected.

This product listing is for the olive only. You will typically need to purchase the corresponding hose barb or insert separately if you are shortening your brake lines or performing a full system overhaul.

As long as your hydraulic hose is designed for SRAM or Avid systems and uses the standard compression fitting interface, this olive should function correctly. However, it is always best practice to match components to your specific brake manufacturer's specifications.
