Iâ??m starting to suspect the hoses more.  There was another incident that was 
a bit different, and now that I think of it, points more to the hoses.

As I said before, as I was coming to a stop, with my foot on the brake, at the 
last second before coming to a complete stop, it seemed the brakes bit a little 
harder - like I pushed the brakes a tiny bit, even though I didnâ??t at all.  

My initial assumption was that there was a bubble in the rubber hose, 
increasing pressure.  But I discounted that since it stopped immediately when I 
lifted the pedal.  When I have heard about this before, I recall that the 
bubble kept the pressure up even after the pedal was released.  But every 
situation is different.  

This other incident was also at very low speed, just after I lifted the brakes 
and was coasting forward, I got a feeling like I was taping on the brakes 
repeatedly and the wheel was chirping.  It was very strange.  I donâ??t know 
the details to give more help on that.  

One other factor, I have braided stainless hoses, that are smaller OD and ID 
than stock rubber hoses.
