Riaan373 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Hi guysI'm in the process of buying xt brakes. Where can I find white hydro lines that will work with the xt brakes. I'm in the east rand. Thanks guys
BogusOne Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Why? Coloured brake lines and gear cable outers is the ugliest thing to me they have ever invented for bikes.... Just saying....
pista Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Why? Coloured brake lines and gear cable outers is the ugliest thing to me they have ever invented for bikes....Just saying....Depends on how it's done. Black frame with white or yellow cables a no-no.
Skylark Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Why? Coloured brake lines and gear cable outers is the ugliest thing to me they have ever invented for bikes.... Just saying....So what colour brake lines do you recommend
johanpre44 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 It is available: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/alero-shimano-hydraulic-brake-cable-kit But for the Price and the fact that you have to bleed the brakes etc. I don't really think it worth the effort (even if it looks very cool). I agree with BogusOne on the color of the cable outers/hoses (black is best), wonder why its not part of Rule 8 (http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/).
BogusOne Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 So what colour brake lines do you recommend Any colour as long as its black
Riaan373 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 No fancy colours. Just white. I have white outers at the moment with my mechanical discs on. It compliments my white bars, wheels, stem, seat post and seat which are all white.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Any colour as long as its black I could only get white when I sliced my one hose. For a while, I was running a single white hose and the rest were black and carbon (fully enclosed goodridge cable system) Now I have black and white - white sleeved braided hoses for the Codes and black gear cable housings. It works!

BaGearA Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Oi where can i find GOOD RIDGE braided hoses and of course the fittings for shimano brakes ( Previous gen SLX) the hope one online is like 500 randelas for only 1600mm i.e. I'll have to buy two to do my brakes

johannrissik Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Hey help A brotha out...Hey brotha, you resurrect a deeply sleeping thread and then you want it to wake up running ????I went to a hydraulic place and they had a box full of banjo bolts of various sizes plus all the compression fittings etc. To make up a new hose for the rear XT brake on the tandem. Germans. In Windhoek. Very particular, ja?
