Check out ebay and your local hydraulics/hose/line company's. |

They have changed the way they routed those lines. The original routing had the lines crossing and touching - it was bound to wear. On my bike, I tied the two lines together with a tie and a tie for a spacer between them. |

yea, i feel embarassed that i didnt catch it before it happened. im usually very meticulous about that kinda stuff. a couple local shops said they would have a little trouble matching the aluminum tube part of the hose if they tried to reproduce it. you think i could have the braided line removed from the tube and have them attached the new braided line to the old tube since it isnt leaking? |
