What's the story with braided hoses?
I understand they make your brakes feel stiffer. I reckon my brakes feel fine (I don't ride hard) so this is not a big deal for me.
Presumably they are more expensive than rubber hoses and are more inclined to corrosion (the braiding is usually galvanised steel wire no?).
Does anybody install rubber hoses any more?
