Hey mate, first all of we could help a bit easier if you told us if you are after a 20" or 26"? Maybe short/long? And a rough amount you want to spend on one..
Exactly If it was a hose split - You would have to take the whole thing off , get your new bit of tube then strugle like hell to squeez it on then after all that bleed the brake. Some people like they say dont even have a bleed kit and they would still rather a puncture wtf? Puncture ***!
I totaly agree with you on this , but i think a problem would be when people get downgraded they will just make another account and carry on. Why dont every one just accept how it is, if it was any other way people would be getting scammed ect..
I would much rather get a puncture, purely becuase i have to take my brake to the nearest bike shop to get the hose replaced.. I carry around with me a spare Innertube anyway..
