Happening a lot lately. I just click "back", then I get "cannot display web page", then just click back into the site, and the reply has been posted. Probably an easier way to do it?

It may have just been my perception, but I have used braided lines before and found them to leave the brakes with less feel, a bit wooden. On others, they have been good though. They sometimes take a LOT of bleeding before you get them working well.

You know, it occurs to me, are the bike manufacturers fitting them as standard yet? I don't recall seeing any. If not, why not?

the reason why very few manufactures don't use braided hoses is to give the brakes feel, the slight bulging in the rubber hoses give this, a braided hose tends to lose the feel and can as mentioned a wooden feel and in some cases make the brake slightly more fierce, there are some scooter manufactures that do use braided hoses, which isn't a bad thing as the rear brake hose is a bit long for a rubber hose.
