B.E.A.U Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi all, i was thinking of purchasing some of this hosing, but i couldn't see really any reviews for it, is it worth paying the extra money for this or just buy some standard Magura hosing? Also Is it resistance to kinks?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aff1e Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 hi if you are wantinig some braided hoses i would get the goodridge ones as they come with all fittings and ready to put on your hs33, my friend has them on his zoo! pitbull and hes tried to kink them and they havent, braided hoses are also ment to make your brake feel alot more solid aswell and last alot longer hope i helped aff1e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 "braided hoses are also ment to make your brake feel alot more solid aswell and last alot longer hope i helped aff1e"bullshit. its the pads and the bleed that will make it feel solid, not the crappy hosing. standard hosing is fine unless you enjoy wasting money.

Clarky Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 the braided hosing doesnt fell much different bar the kinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.E.A.U Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) So it's just stronger then the braided hose is , nothing else?

The steel braided hose seems to look very strong and durable but is it? Has anyone tested it????Steve Edited April 19, 2006 by Monkey_style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_welshriders Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 i have never had braided hosing, but i can have ridden with it and i can tell you, it doesnt make any difference to the brakes feel/performance. the normal hosing is fine, aslong as you root it properly. i have never had a kink in my original hosing or split it, in 3yrs of riding. if you really want it, its up to you buy my advise is stay with the original.unless ur rich, go if it mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 when my friend snapped his stem f**k up all his braided hosing made him doubly pissed- not just was it the stem it was 35 quid of pointless hosing as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
