stetpro Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 is there any point in getting braided hoses instead of having the plastic ones?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashed Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah they're less likely to split under pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 corse there is, what if you kept snapping your plaggy ones ey, then what? i tell you what, you catch a bus down to the zoo and catch yourself a monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alun Goch Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Advantages are they're harder wearing. If you find yourself breaking hoses through falling and hitting them they're a good idea, but theres no noticeable difference to the braking.Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashed Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 i herd that they perform better by being able to handle higher pressure with little expansion around the circumference that why they used them for motorcycle racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Goch Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 But how much pressure can you produce with one finger? Plastic is strong enough for the pressure, you won't feel any difference in my opinion.Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashed Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Its not a question of how much pressure but where the pressure is being concentrated. Rather than having the hoses swell the pressure goes to the pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Goch Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yes, but the pressure caused by one finger is hardly enough to split a plastic hose is it?Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3LLON_t-mag Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 i have just put a set on my bike and you can feel the difference in brakin power as the braided house dont expand like the plastic ones do so all in all better spending that little bit more for sum better braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shucksmith1 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 so there apears to be difference of oppion about the change in performance of these hoses. but i think we can all agree on the fact that they look dam sexy. but if u have a realy colour coded bike then colour matched plastic hoses look much better.what do you think??cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeah, these braided hoses dont split e.t.c maybe dont expand under pressure making it a bit more of a solid feel. They look the balls n all i'de go for it if i had the money.Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
