DIY: Steel Mesh Brake Lines

Hi everyone


I’d like to share a TrailOut LAB video. This one teaches you exactly how to make steel mesh brake lines for your bike/car in an inexpensive way.
Probably very useful on these rather improvable Chinese bikes :thumbsup:

"Common (rubber) brake tubes will not maintain their inner radius when the oil inside them reaches a certain temperature. Hard riding will stress the brakes making the whole line (disks, pads, oil & tubes) over-heat resulting in inconsistent or even lack of braking power.
Needless to say that this won't ever happen with a steel mesh braking line"

Interesting video. I don't think I'd have enough faith in my DIY skills to do this my self and you can buy these for about £20 from eBay but this could be useful for vehicles with non-standard length hoses.

There are cheap solutions out there, and ebay is an awesome source :D

But as kind of a DIY addict, I loved doing this mod ^^
