The Shimano Small Parts Set Olive+Insert is an essential service kit for maintaining or installing Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Designed to work with compatible Shimano brake hoses, the olive and insert (also called a barb) create a secure, leak-free connection between the hose and the brake lever or caliper. Whether you are shortening a new hose to achieve a cleaner cockpit or replacing worn fittings during routine maintenance, this small parts set helps ensure consistent braking performance and long-term reliability.
Using fresh olives and inserts whenever you cut or refit a hydraulic hose is strongly recommended, as reusing old fittings can compromise sealing and safety. This Shimano set is ideal for home mechanics and professional workshops alike, offering a simple, cost-effective way to keep your braking system in top condition. Pair it with the correct Shimano hose, mineral oil, and basic workshop tools, and you’ll be ready to complete clean, professional-quality brake installations or upgrades on your bike.
