When the brake hose layout fits neatly together…
it looks sharp, doesn’t it? What do you think?
I think it’s the same with everything, but sizing and fit are extremely important (*´з`)ノ
(´∀｀*) Hehe The big sale once a year, Amazon Prime Day 7/12・13
Brake hose replacement and layout make it look tight ( ﾟДﾟ)
By the way, I can’t even install the brake hoses that are sold?
What! It’s not a dedicated product?
It’s a dedicated product as determined by the seller…
I think it means that it can be installed and function in that sense.
If each fitting angle and length differ, the layout changes.
OEM brake hoses are made with quite meticulous specifications.
It’s extremely difficult for aftermarket products to surpass this, which means with limited aftermarket fitting options, achieving the same layout is rather challenging.
When installed… it can end up with a layout that feels forced.
*I don’t think it’s all of them, but I haven’t seen anything better.
If the hose is short it won’t fit, if it’s long it’s safe. As a result.
Hose length is made and sold with a safety margin in mind, I think.
If the hose is short it won’t install, so that’s natural.
As a result, it ends up with an awkward line.
Don’t you see bikes with slack hose routed and tied down?
Custom bikes, the first thing I look at is the brake hose (*´з`)
It’s truly rare to think “Oh, they went that way!”
In recent years, easy-order style brake hoses have become mainstream…
Looking at them, while they’re highly efficient in terms of inventory and usability, serviceability and appearance often suffer.
Since customers don’t care, it’s unavoidable in a way, and since they don’t notice, that’s how the trend goes.
Vehicles with beautiful brake hose and cable layouts have an overall clean impression.
Serviceability is super important (*´з`) Removal and fluid changes
Why would you swap to an aftermarket product and make serviceability worse than OEM?
It’s better if the caliper comes off easily so you can change pads and clean it.
For fluid changes too, it’s better if there’s no obstructing brake hose around the bleeder nipple.
Since you’re doing it anyway, why not pursue serviceability too?
Customers might only look at price and material.
But I think these small details accumulate and change how the machine finishes and how much you care for it (*´з`)
