braided hose brake lines

[nick crisp]

thanks for all the imput there is nothing wrong with my brake lines its i want to colour code them blue to match the bike and i believe this would be the only way to do it

Hmmm, blue you say? Then it will slow it down more slowly. But if it is a blue bike, it will be going slowly anyway, so perhaps this might not be a problem  :b


Sorry to get all technical on you, do carry on  :lol



Actually, glazed pads could well be why I found some braided hose set ups to have a wooden feel. Hadn't thought of that. Also, I found the brakes to be pretty poor on mine at one point (OEM hoses), I think it was last year. Took the bike out for the express purpose of testing them, used loads of aggressive braking, and bingo! Effective brakes again.
