Fitting braided hoses

[VenerableArc]

Morning peeps,

Just wondering if anyone has done a write up on fitting braided hoses? It's something I have never attempted before and im a little nervous about charging straight into. Brake stuff I have always left to my old man.

Thanks

If you're not 100% sure what you are doing, DO get someone who does check them before riding the bike once fitted.

I did mine a while back as long as you are meticulously clean & follow the bleeding procedure to the letter all should be fine. I'm also not a million miles away from you if you need it checked.

FYI if doing a google site search first type your search query ie braided hoses then leave a space and type site: followed by the site url. You type this all directly into the address bar and not in the google search or any other search engine search facility.

It's really simple to use. Attach pipe, loosen nipple, and pump lever away to get rid of the bulk of air. Then for the last bit to get an extra good bleed, Open nipple, squeeze lever, close nipple, release lever, open nipple, squeeze lever, close nipple, release lever and so on. Keep an eye on you fluid reservoir levels and keep topping up as necessary. Don't let it run dry or you will be starting from the beginning again
