Hi,
my Ultegra Disc equipped bike came with kinda chunky looking connectors on the brake hoses as shown on this site:
I want to get rid of them to have a cleaner look.
My Question: What would I need them for?
Do you guys have experience dis/re-connecting those? Does it work well without bleeding? If they weren't so ugly, that would be cool for having a hybrid Road/TT-Bike were you just switch over the complete front-end (Assuming wireless or at least electronic shifting)
regards
if you can read this

My Question: What would I need them for?
- According to this GCN-video, they are useful for swapping left and right brakes, but I don't ever do that.
- Another thing I realized is that it might be necessary to disconnect the front brake if I ever needed to remove the fork (taking off the whole caliper doesn't help since the brake hose is internally routed through the left fork blade)
- Any other things I wouldn't be able to do if I replace the disconectable hose with a new continuous one?
