Well, color me disappointed. Just got my M-class yesterday and found that the rear brake isn't working. There is a thin trickle of oil coming from the brake levers on the handlebar down the hydraulic line. I hope Ariel can get this fixed quickly.
 
Brought the bike to my LBS. They say that the hose to the right brake was too short and, possibly, turning damaged the "olive and barb". So, I'm hoping Ariel will send me replacement parts for them to install.

Since the hose is obviously too short, is it possible that an extension to the brake hose on one end or the other to lengthen it or is the only alternative replacing the whole hose?
