As long as you have the brakes system apart why stop at one line. I would replace them all as well as hoses. Lines are reasonably priced and not that much extra money for piece of mind. I hear they c

My plan is to use DOT 5 brake fluid. It doesnt eat the paint at all. The DOT 3 is standard but can potentially ruin my nice newly painted frame and parts. Anyone had any experience with DOT 5? oletru

DOT 5 is great stuff with Two major cautions! 1. DON"T use it with older rubber parts. No original or NOS rubber parts will properly stand up to it. 2. Keep ALL water out of the system. DOT 5 will n

I think I hold one end and pull on the other, not sure it matters much. This OK for smaller lines and lazy radius. This method also lets you make corrections easily. If you need tight bends on large
