squeaky Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 hiya people i was just wondering why people say that braided hoses are the best and that you should only run them. i have been told that they are a lot stronger than stock cables and that you get better performance out of your brake can anyone tell me if this is true and if it is worth upgrading my cables to braidedcheersSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Physics as we no it has changed water isnt a fluid lolBraided hoses are stronger yes and when you put your brake on you get flex outwards on the cable from the compression this is reduced with braided as its stronger. But braided hoseing has a smaller diameter so less fluid goes through makeing them not as good as standard ones for that reason. Put yeah there good as there strong.
