adamtrials Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 If i'm not mistaken the idea of stainless steel is that it does not rust...So no, it wont rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidytrials Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 IM sure that official magura braided hose has some kind of lining as the outer hose needs to be flexible! So chances are the water will never phyically contact the stainless steel braid! Unless of course, it leaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
