M3LLON_t-mag Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 i recently burst my rear hose and am upgrading to braided but being a new rider i didn't want to upgrade before understanding what the advantages to running braided hoses are. or disadvantages if u have anycheers mellon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the judge Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Never used them but advantages I can think of might be: less chance of them kinking, and less chance of them being ripped out of the lever when you fall off and the bars spin round, also maybe a more solid feel to the lever???

watto Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 They dont flex (expand) as much when under pressure, are stronger in generall and do look pretty swish i must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 They dont flex (expand) as much when under pressure, are stronger in generall and do look pretty swish i must say.very debatable - the best idea ive seen for them is running them just on the cross over so you dont snapp your cross over when you catch your foot on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrider Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Because they're a lot more flexible you can run basically through,over and along wich ever ever part of your bike suits you best and yes theu are alot stronger so in the long run worth the money as you wont break them as often also they look the tits i have to say and can give better lever feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roby James124 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi The advantages are that they don't flex a much like people have already said but i would also recommend getting the goodridge one not hope or any thing else these are meant to be the best and not meant to flex at all (yerr right) also f1 racing drivers use them Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrider Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Also is it the goodridge hoses which you can get in different colours or is it just the connecting ends which you can get? Hope the question makes sense cause i did try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
