WHICH BRAKE LINES

skez · Post by **skez** » May 17th, '06, 13:19

I've seen these lines on ebay and was wonder which to go for, all stainless steal bolts and washers from Woolford(which i've not really heard of) or steal bolts and copper washer from Hel. Any advice would be helpful.http:

I dont know - but id want stainless bolts thats for sure.

I always use Goodridge (Which in in truth is probably only because I am a sucker for brand names)

if you after lines, go to Hel direct and tell them you are off the site - Simon, the boss, agreed to do discounts for swb'ers; and will also be able to advise re what you want. They did me a 4 line kit for £55 a couple of years ago.

I've got Hel lines on my bike and they're good. The guy's out there (just out of town) are nice and helpfull

Have used Goodridge in the past, but have lost contact with the person who used to get me a good deal

Used to be a good place down in South Brent too, but they've moved now and I've lost touch .....

the main thing is to get all stainless if you ride the bike all year round ... there were issues with the alloy Goodridge fittings collecting salt behind the olives and corroding, but I believe they have changed to crimp fittings like Hel

Get the hel

Just as good (if not better than goodridge) and don't cost as much.

The guys are really helpful as well.

Just finished fitting my new lines and they look a lot better, first time i've had a go at that and it went ok, took a while to bleed them and i think i was paranoid, just one more squeeze. seem to work ok, i'm sure i'll find out when mr cage dose'nt see me, thanks for the advice and offer of help.
