Subject: RE: Metal Break Lines


I wouldn't advocate braided hoses on an @. Most people don't ride them
like sports bikes because they don't want that kind of bike in the first
place. On the wrong kind of bike braided hoses can be pretty lethal. My
feeling is, please remember this is from a novice as far as riding @'s
is concerned, when you hit the front brake hard on the @ the front locks
up quite easily in the DRY, I would hate to see what happens in the wet
or early cold mornings.

Best regards..

	Lucky escape, after all, isn't it?

	Yet, my "old" '90 RD04 still has the original hoses on, and so
does the
	"new" '91 RD04.
	Well, I still can't complain about brake performance in any way.

	Alright,  I don't do races, but I am far from being slow rider.

	But heck, if you got the money and need to spend it on
something...
