I just got a new Tallboy TLc and it has XTR brakes. I would like to unloosen the bolt that comes out of the caliper so I can tuck the hose closer to the frame. Can this be done without a problem? And do I need to retorque the bolt? Any advice is appreciated :thumbsup:

I just looked at my Xtr brake instruction sheet,

Looks like diffrent torque if your brakes have a 3mm or 4mm allen bolt attaching the hose to caliper.

3mm allen bolt 5-7Nm
4mm allen bolt 8-10Nm

My XTR trail brakes happen to use 4mm allen bolt, I wonder if the Race version uses 3mm bolts?
