Cahill Trials Kid Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Rite think im going to go to a rear maggie, but would like to get some of the braided hose as i ride competitions alot and dont want it leaking in a comp.

martin555 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Does braided hose make the brake feel more powerfull? due to the pipe not being able to expand at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont make much difference with its performance but it wont split if u kick it or knock it on a rock/wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin555 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) It wont make much difference with its performance but it wont split if u kick it or knock it on a rock/wall I knew about the obvious benefits. I just wondered as I was led to believe with motor bikes it makes quite a big difference but I guess motor bike brakes are a lot more powerful any way. Wondered if it was the same for push bikes but from what you say I guess it not. Edited April 18, 2010 by martin555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any affect you do feel will probably only be placeabo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 None at all. Just a more responsive feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Depends on the oil, anyway usually oil has more spongy feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 supposibly using a braided hosing makes the brake feel stiffer, i use the hope kevlar stuff on tarty, it seems tough and still light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
