Stainless Steel Brake Lines

Posted on June 5, 2010.
Stainless Steel Brake LinesChange rubber brake lines motorcycle brake lines stainless steel is it useful?

Changing lines motorcycle rubber brake lines stainless steel brake they perform better than rubber brake lines. Is the change worth the money?

Better performance.
Rubber hoses will swell / expand under the pressure of braking.
The more you clamp binders, all the more.
steel brake lines will not increase, the source of energy that would otherwise be lost to transfer to the brake caliper.
Braided stainless lines were still a pipe / liner, but the braiding reductions expansion.

looks better
better performance

By worth it I suppose you mean performance. Regarding the performance goes, it is only worthwhile if you are planning on taking the bike to a race track and effectively curb the use of performance. As you round towers, heat, rubber hoses and grow. This does not mean all the pressure goes to break. This results in the brake lever have to be pulled off and more difficult to obtain the same results. steel tubes to eliminate brake fade and keep the lever in the same over time. So it's really not worth for any normal road use. Unless you just want to get them.

If you go to a race track and actually RACE yes, if you go around on the street and play no rider. It takes more than looking like a racer to be.

Well, if for any reason, you do not have to change again. rubber brake lines are supposed to be changed approximately every 3 years. If you go stainless, you do not have to worry about that. Personally, I noticed a difference when I swapped mine for stainless steel.

It depends on how your bike stops on his brakes now.

braided hoses will swell slightly as the brake pressure rubber hoses to fit more pressure brake disc.
However, many bikes off perfectly on the rubber hoses and one could argue that you do not need or want to try and stop any more because there are limits to this kind of thing.
My bike has great brakes and I do not see that I need braided hoses ..... if I leaned back all the harder part would be forever in the air.

However, I have had bikes in the past with less braking capability than I had braided hoses fitted.

If your bike does not stop them even by all means have equipped .... it does help.

If you have a single drive or just one or maybe twins on the pots .... disk or if the bike is heavy, then what are the factors you should consider.
sport bikes tend to be lighter and have double discs with twin pots per disk as a minimum, but still might still need watching.

I put stainless lines on my two touring bikes and they are certainly worth it. I hate to disagree with jek, but apparently not that many miles on as I rode it and did not have as many years as I have.

As the tubes age, they are soft and the ball a little bit. Therefore, you can override the brake lever all the way to the throttle and not get good braking. The likes are actually stainless steel braided over a layer of Teflon was orginally developed for the hydraulic hoses on aircraft. Take a look inside a helicopter and you see them everywhere.

My experience has been that by using the OEM pipes may last 5-7 years before spongy. Stainless pipes will last forever. My oldest game is over 20 years and the brake lever is still solid as a rock. They are not cheap, but the $ 150-200 you spend could save you involved in an accident.

all these freakin geniuses failed to mention other ingredients very important here, your brake fluid! I recently converted all my machines over to the 5.5 and in addition to the art of brake lines, the difference is remarkable. Ma
