I am going to need to shorten the brake cables on a brand new set of brakes.

if done carefully is it possible to reuse the olive and insert or am i better off spending the £5 on unused ones?

cheers

You need to get new olive and insert, but on the plus side it is possible to do it without having to bleed the system after just make sure you have a really good pair of cutters for the hose.
