Ysterperd Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 On the face of it it only seems as if outer sleeve is damaged, if it is not leaking you may get away with a patch job. however keep an eye on the patch to see whether it holds when pressure is applied under breaking. If it leaks rather replace the whole line
NotSoBigBen Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 The man said its losing pressure so replacement the only option. Not rocket science, its just a bike!
Pieter1 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Pratley putty should workPrestick?Edit: I think its such a good idea I posted it twice. Edited August 14, 2013 by Pieter1
RexFuzzle Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Possible pratleys jobIf you can find a male to male connector for that size pipe that could save you getting a new one, but this is all moot if you want to trust it 100% and if a new pipe is overboardly expensive.
Meezo Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Prestick?Edit: I think its such a good idea I posted it twice. Worth a shot. In my old days, i used it to closed a float on my weber carb. Did a bit of circuit racing, and used to experience a lot of fuel surges on certain corners. Mind you the pratley putty worked to close the float bowl. But didn't help with the surge, and to remove it was a complete nightmare. What I'm trying to say there was a lot of pressure going thru the carb it worked. But i think in your case there's nothing for pratley putty to grip/hold onto.... Bleh bleh bleh.... Your cable is on its will msg you the tracking number

Shangri la Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Once replaced check what the hose could be rubbing on.
MTBc Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Nice clean cut...so don't think it was from a fall? Pretty sure that duct tape will work better than masking tape hmm... sinister. if any tape were to work, it would be duct tape. Maybe wrap some cling wrap around it first.
DoubleDee Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Probably better to remove old hose and replace with a new hose and then bleed brakes properly!
