Campagnolo Olive and Barb Kit

No, these fittings are engineered specifically for Campagnolo hydraulic disc brake systems. Using them with other brands may result in an improper seal, fluid leaks, or compromised braking performance.

Yes, you will need a dedicated hose cutter to ensure a clean, square cut on the hose, and a barb insertion tool or a bench vise with soft jaws to press the barb into the hose without damaging it.

No, olives are designed to be crushed during the initial installation to create a permanent, airtight seal. Once they have been compressed, they cannot be reused and must be replaced with a new olive every time the hose is disconnected.

This kit is intended for professional mechanics or home enthusiasts who perform regular maintenance, such as shortening hoses for a custom fit or swapping brake levers. Having ten sets on hand ensures you have the necessary hardware for multiple service intervals or bike builds.

The barb should be inserted with the threaded or ribbed end going into the hose first. Ensure it is seated fully and flush against the hose end to maintain a secure connection and prevent fluid pressure loss.
