monty rider Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Hello, Right i'm fedup of popping and braking my Magura Pipes and i want to get some better ones so iv had a quick look around and i found a set of Hope Stainless Steel Braided Hose and wondered what they are like so, Has anyone got or ever had a set of these Hope Stainless Steel Braided pipes,If so are they any good, Have you had any problems with them such as: Leaking or anything. Thanks a lot. Cheers Phil Edited January 8, 2006 by monty rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 They're practaclly the same as the standard ones only less trouble because you don't need to replace them as ften as they are a lot lot lot harder to brake!, the only bad thing i've heard about them is they scratch your frame!Mike!!!

smelly joe Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I was thinking about getting hope braided hoses for my bike and then found out that you can get braided hose a lot cheaper from specialist car shops.as long as you know the correct diameter of the threads on all of the pistons and lever aswell as the internal and external diameters of the hose you can have the hoses made up for you a lot cheaper than you can buy them from shops.im getting some made up very soon.

luccosleeps Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 im guessing they'd be rather good, but i'd prefer to go for goodridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've had no problems with the hope braided hose on my Hope mono trials and it doesnt scratch my frame. I'd go to a car shop or something to buy the hosing. Id get a set of fixings for a hs33 and find out the dimensions of the hose to get some hosing.
