Hi would anyone know
Which replacement brake hose would I buy for a 2019 crossbar torque, would a Shimano one suffice and if so which model.

Thanks

Do you mean the Wisper 905 Torque Crossbar?

This bike came with cable operated disk brakes. Has yours been upgraded to hydraulic brakes? If so do you know which brakes?

I think you need to explain what's going on and which brakes you have. What happened? Don't tell me it was "the dog ate my brakes" again, or was it the rabbit?

If cable operated brakes then try Jagwire compressionless housing or Shimano compressionless brake housing.

Either the caliper or the lever or both will have the maker's name, and most hoses will have too. Use that make. If completely unidentifiable then take the old hose and fitting to a bike shop who should be able to tell you what you need.

If reduced to guesswork, I'd guess Shimano first, and unless it is a 4 piston brake it will likely be the BH59.
