What length rear brake hose? Large Ripmo

[g_man80]

Sorry for such a specific question, but does anyone know the approximate rear brake hose length I'll need for a Large Ibis Ripmo? I'm looking at used brakes and would like to find a set with adequate length hoses. I don't have the frame yet to take a rough measurement.

TIA

it will also depend on your stem lenght and bar width and lever placement.

1) wait until you have frame, and its built up
2) be ready to order new hose

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I found a few sets off medium sized fs bikes (rear around 1550mm long), which I think is cutting it close. A $40 hose isn't the end of the world. Just trying to simplify the build and save a few $ where I can.

EDIT: ^ you beat me to it ^
You can get a Shimano or SRAM 2000mm replacement hose kit (w olive and inserts) for $25.00 - $30.00.
If you get a find a great deal and you're short its an easy and cheap fix.

Just make sure you route the front brake line the right way.
