Would you change the brake hose?

Post by Mr conners »

I'm off to Mexico in December so I'm just servicing the bikes. Seems the outer sheath has rubbed through after a friend lashed the bike to his van.

Leave it or put a new one on?

For what it costs, I'd (get my friend with the van to) change it. The outer is really just a protective layer so it's done its job.

I get the person whose bike I have attached to tow bar to check it to avoid it being my fault
