There was a conversation about these brake hoses at the Triumph World
Picnic yesterday. The comment was made that with standard brake hoses
it's noticably obvious when one might be weakening so it can be replaced
before problems develop, whereas with the braided ones there would be no
advance warning till a blowout odccurred in them, not a good idea if at
speed.

Remember I'm a non-techie, just passing on a comment for others more
knowledgeable to dispute or not as the case may be.
