Braided Stainless Steel Brake and Clutch lines Group Buy.
Written by ridearoundth... on 4/29/2010 at 05:14 pm

Hi all,
Just figured I would bump this thread and ask that if anyone does try these to
post their experience. I am really pleased with the lever feel after this mod.
I have to put it up there with tapered roller bearings in the headstem as far as
improvement to the ride.
Just to be clear, I have no connection to G&J. I had asked a while back about
this and no one had set anything like this up I figured I would.

Hope it helps someone.

Enjoy the ride,

Oliver in Central PA

clutch. Color combinations are no additional cost but since you barely see the
lines?

to prime your lines after installation. Using a turkey baster, get a piece of
hose that fits the bleeder and the baster. Use the baster to force fluid up the
line. Start at the furthest caliper then the closest. It took a few minutes to
force the fluid up the lines but way less than it normally takes to bleed from
the top side.
