<D> Steel braided brake hose?

[Scorpione_phantom]

with ur rear very Strong on the braking, in kan cheong situation, u might wack on the rear causing u to SKID.. hee.. i lousy rider so it happened to me twice resulting in accidents. both were on HEL brake hose.. BUT i stand by HEL brake hose. they are power !! good for the front but my personal view is can don't need to install at the rear.

[Demues]

install at the front easy to do stoppie?? keke just kidding... anyway like what I said my mech advise me against steel brake hose and not directly HEL... wonder any bro can let me try their steel brake hose to feel the different.. kekeke...

because the brake more jia and it also means chances of skidding is higer.

anyway, how's the feeling of a steel braided hose, spongy or harder?? care to share

feel is constant...nt like rubber hose(mayb mine old liaoz datz y) when do hard brakin the ting like start 2 loose feel...

the feel is slightly harder but wil get used 2 it..

what about your brake pad? I strictly believe with good braking hose but a lousy brake pad will make not much improvement.

Learn to ride slowly and defensively.

That way u won't have to E-Brake......u'll always stop or slow down before u encounter anything.

nt realli cable,its juz the hoses assembly...its the brake hose dat contains the brake fluid...the fliud will compress the brake pads on2 the brake rotor whe brakin(juz elaboratin incase abit confusing)...so usuali normal brake hose r rubber material...when old liaoz(like mine) when doin moderate 2 hard brakin the rubber hose may expand causing the brakin power 2 deteorarate(dunno hw 2 spell) which is dangerous...the steel braided hose will nt expand due 2 the material used...as 4 the costs,its worth it coz it may save ur life 1 day...correct mi if i m wrong...

[yctradingsg]
