time to retired.   new stuff   i prefer over-mudguard style, it had shorter length.    for rear brake    Why i choose over-mudguard style? reason:- "the "direct lines" installation method where the two brake lines are connected to the master cylinder down to the calipers is the easiest to implement, but it is not the most effective : knowing that fluids are incompressible, the brake lines represent the only place where braking efficiency can be lowered. In other words, the longer the brake lines, the more it loses effectiveness, no matter the way they are fitted. Therefore the original assembly method is the more efficient, with a direct line to one caliper and another caliper to caliper line, This reduces the total length of the lines and therefore the pressure loss.", Quoted from JBX jbx9.free.fr/tdm/index.php?page=BRKThanks for viewing and to be continue on next chapter... Regards fx110 Lim |

Well done Lim, looks good, did you get it all bled through ok as some people on here sometimes have trouble getting air out of the system?

It looks a very neat job.  I looked at this option but suspected bleeding would be more hassle and the additional hose needed to run two lines down from the master cylinder was not a big %age. However, when I fitted the new oil cooler in front of the frame the hoses had to be re-routed to avoid them hitting the oil cooler. I came close to doing this method (mine has self assembly hoses with compression olive end fittings), but found a way to get them in all correct and safe. For bleeding I turn the front wheel to make sure bleed nipple is at the top of the caliper then move the brake ever slowly to try and avoid frothing the fluid. For a new fill. pushing fluid in with a syringe on the caliper seems to work best. |
