Brake Lines

In March 2019 I replaced the original brake lines with Venhill braided lines from Motobins.

The original rubber lines were overdue for replacement. There were some irregularities (bumps) on the outside of the lines, and one of them released a bit of fluid when it was flexed.

Brake fluid on top one after flexing. Not also slight bulge in rubber casing.

New, shiny lines. 

Needless to say the braking ability of the bike was substantially improved after this.
