Shimano Hydraulic brake with Switch £75

[Deleted member 4366]

You have a choice of three connectors, including the Bafang one for BBSxx.

The photos show both left and right sides, but I'm not sure whether they're all fronts (short hose) - best to ask first.

I guess that's still a little steep for what's probably a £40 brake with a switch added, but it saves a lot of messing about.

I think the picture is of the front brake. The hose for the rear brake is a fair bit longer.
See the price? $95 + duty and VAT

Looks neater than my attempt which took me quite a while from ordering wrong reed switches and wrong shape magnets to fit etc


Looks ok from the top as you can't see anything.

Finished them months ago and still not got around to fitting them yet though.
These are what I ended up using :-

Cheaper then 75/90 quid though.
These are also another option.

good find. My HDB use the same switches.

Also the same as the Oxydrive reed switch my kit.

Pressure switch for all MAGURA rim and disc brakes.

My bold text. These used to be about 40€ + postage a couple of years ago IIRC which is one of the reasons I didn't get one then. And they were as rare as hens teeth - now they are at bike discount...

There were a lot of reports of reliability issues with those switches, which were attributed to the type of hydraulic oil used, so do your research before buying one.
