braided brake lines

does anyone know some facts about braided brake lines... would it be worth swapping my hb brake line for some steel braided lines or would it not be worth my while..???

Re: braided brake lines

but is there anyone out there with some specific info on it like if someone was hardcore on practicing stoppies and can you ever get to much power by upgrading lines pads etc.

the greater the difficulty the more glory in overcoming it. the higher your rocked back towards 12... the faster your speedo says... only makes you better.headstrong bikers gain there reps after sliding down the asphalt and getting back on even if its inevitable that its going to happen again. the distance of success is measured by your own effort put to risk just for that initial rush of doing something people can only dream about. I love this its not a sport its your life in overdrive.

Re: braided brake lines

If you ask anyone who rides my bike they will tell you that my brakes are strong. I do my stoppies with only one finger. Never enough power. Lines will keep fading down and give you more feedback. They just make your brakes more predictable and consistant.

If your brakes work fine now, and you don't have any problems, then why switch it? I have rubber on my front and they are awsome for stoppies. I use steel on my hb but not for any specific reason other than i had an extra line sitting on the floor of my garage.
