The photo of the small nuts is what I think it’s supposed to have. But I only have the big nuts

They thread into the caliper fine, I imagine it’s fine

They’re fine on the caliper side as long as the hose has enough room to go into the fork. On a lot of road bikes the hole for the hose is like an inch away so it will kink the hose.

Before resorting to nut reduction, maybe consider a saddle change first?!?!


I'll show myself out.

Makes sense that larger nuts would kink the hose, but still be usable if the hose has enough room

As long as the toilet is a high seater, I'm good.
