Tubing Brake Fluid Reservoir
 
It's just a simple bit of rubber tubing. But is there anywhere that sells them with the cap as well? Or just a case of use what you got?

Had one like that on my RD rear brake for years - my tube was only about 3" long with a bolt in the end and a jubilee clip - never had any problems with it ! Not very high tech, but it worked.

I've been reading that some people found that the rubber tube "sweated" fluid

Did yours ever do that?

Depends on the type of tube

Yep, your pic at the top is the HRC kit, same as the one I use. 3 years old and still spot on, and it comes with the best disclaimer EVER, basically along the lines of "Using this on a road bike is illegal, unsafe, immoral, unwise, causes birth defects and global warming" :mrgreen: Obviously too expensive for what it is, but it's still kind of cool, and it's out of the proper race kit which makes it AWESUM!!!1!

And it's on your bike because it saves what 15.2 grams? :-P

Nah, because it looks mint and the standard rear reservoir is a pain in the balls to get to. Oh, and I wanted to make the subframe easier to remove, but that was just a side effect really, I just like how it looks and works.

So you have this type of kit. And you haven't had any sweating?

Yup, that's the one. It sweated a non-corrosive fluid for a couple of days... It wasn't pure brake fluid, didn't melt the paint on the subframe, and then stopped. I don't really know what that was all about, tiny quantities though- enough to dampen a paper towel but not enough to really be wet.
