Braided hoses clips - where from?
Hi everyone,
yes - I do know that there are multiple threads covering this topic however: does anybody have a link or an item name for the hose clip neccessary to bolt braided hoses to the forks on the SV? - I'm struggling with what to type in to find what im looking for. Also, I've seen many mixed reviews on how well braided hoses work... surely they should work better or people would stop buying them? - I thought this was to do with expansion in the rubber hoses before pushing the pistons in the normal hoses, I dont know about anyone else but I know my brakes are pretty poor. Hope you can help Thanks |

Re: Braided hoses Questions
stainless steel rubber lined p clips.
brakes only work as good as they are serviced. wrongly serviced and they can be a death trap. rubber hoses don't cause that much expansion unless they are old and perished. you would be hard pushed to tell the difference between good rubber hoses and braided teflon under road use. if your having problems with your brakes then its guaranteed they need a service and if you don't know how to do it then get someone who does to do it. your brakes are for stopping if they don't work you don't stop.. simples. |

Re: Braided hoses Questions
It's easy to change seals, clean the 'groves' where the seals go is very important, use red brake silicone, new fluid offcourse. You can either use compressed air to blow out the pistons or buy a brake piston removal tool.
Wemoto is one place that sells complete service kit. Then after you should clean your brakes a few times a year with brake cleaner spray and a toothbrush. Pistons are important to clean. |

Re: Braided hoses clips - where from?
You've already got the best ( and free! ) brake piston removal tool.
It's called a brake lever.
