RE: [ST] RE: Replacement brake hoses? (and other topics)

["Rob WHITE" <llooms@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually
the stainless braiding is only over the top of the hose and sometimes it is
embedded within the rubber itself
They all have rubber or a composite internally.

It is a bit hard for stainless to seal witout rubber    lol

The idea of the stainless is to stop the hose expanding when under pressure
so that there is less pressure lost and gives a better feeling brake.

cheers

Rob

It might be something to do with the country the bike is intended for, even
my '95 Speed Triple had stainless hoses standard and I used an ST rear end
in my Spondon and that had stainless hoses as well. I think they are
standard on every model. A friends RS has them as well.
