rear braded brake line

[richg 0]

is it worth fitting a braded rear brake line? I have done the fronts which gave better feel but cant see much point in doing the rear other than for looks.

think your right m8, only do it for the looks if the back brake works thats good enough it only steadys the bike really ,
Bet someone will put me right with that

braideds better than the oem rubber ones which your supposed to change every four years, just dont whack your foot down on the lever and they look better.
