how much more effective will it be than stock? Can expect 50% more better braking effect? Or anyone can enlighten me? Sorry if this question has been asked...

haven't used it for my S4 (in fact, i'm actually installing it tis evening) but i used on my rxz b4, diff got a lot.

 

it really depends on the person doing the bleeding, if he does a gd job, it'll be veri powerful

Hi, maybe u can look for fat_di since he will bring brake hoses in this coming feb..

[William Tan]

if your bike is brand new, most prob you will feel little difference.

 

If your bike is older, the original brake hose (rubber) will have a tendency to expand when compressed, thus decreasing efficiency.

[kennethy]

my bike coming to 1 year old and can feel the braking is not as good as before...

 

maybe it is just that I have to bleed my brake fluid... or maybe it is just that i getting used to the way my bike brakes...

 

interested to change brake hoses if anyone / shop have a good price tag to offer...

[redname]

1 yr is enough for the rubber hose to not to work as well liao.

 

i jus changed to HEL brake lines not long ago, really makes a diff

[arjen]

there is no words to describe good braking feel unless u tried it.

changing to steel braided hose makes a diff , on top of it of cause, with a good master pump and caliper as well.

[icex]

i so want this man!

[sOulRiDeR]

i oso wanna change but nt tt soon..lolz

[Mussolini]

just for ur information

 

look at gadget and accessories, nick 'R46' is ordering from vector one. if he can get 10 people to buy HEL hose. it will cost $190 including installation. original price is $195.

My previous Super 4 which I sold last october have Hel Brake hose from Vector1.

 

Changed Jan 2005, my Field Report on Hel Brake hose is

 

Very good braking feel - more responsive since the brake hose is thinner

Durability not known cause I sold my bike liao to another gentleman but since it is stainless steel braided hose, should be good.

 

Even though I use the brake hose for around less than 10 months, I never really regret paying for the upgrade and hopefully the new owner had enjoy my beloved bike.

hi i think fat_di is bring in brake hoses, anyone want to order from him?

I am pretty sick of waiting for my braided brakelines to arrive. Seemingly it took forever.

I do not want such shits to happen to me so I gave Bikelab a call and got a pleasant surprise. They are now they agent for

Fancy designing your own custom lines?

 

Anyway I went for black braided lines and grey banjo nuts so that my bike dont stands out (conservative ha ha).

 

Now the best part is that delivery is immediate. Joshua from Bikelab did an excellent job of installing the brake lines.

 

I am now a very happy rider riding a bike with very good feel of my brakes. So much confidence.

 

Just How Strong Are Our Lines?

 

If you had any doubt that Spiegler's DOT approved stainless steel braided brake lines with patented torsion system (to align the fittings) are not one of the strongest and lightest on the market, check this out:
