I replaced my old brake hoses with stainless steel braded hose. I had a
local hydraulic hose shop make mine up, works out great. One thing I have
learned about old brake hoses, is they may look good on the outside, but the
inside diameter will actually swell with age causing problems. We picked up
a V50 awhile back that had that happen to. We could not even bleed the
brakes. It was like sucking a milk shake through a coffee stirrer straw.

Actually no, I'm looking for a front brake cable(s).
Already replaced the clutch cable with MG's - works
great.

If you are talking about the clutch cable, I just picked
one up from MG for
my disc eldo, They take a special cable end at the
lever. I had a Barnett
cable on there and it just flopped around in the cable
adjuster as the feral
was to small.

Unfortunately, my EV died on the way to the national,
soI
ended up putting in a full day on the Eldo and got her
back together, running, and cleaned up - looking like a
real bike now.

Next project is rebuilding the front brake system ('74
disk). I believe its recommended to move to a 12mm
master
cylinder. MG Cycle doesn't list cables, nor does Greg
Benders site. Does Barnett or anyone else make a
replacement cable & fittings? I love the feel of
stainless, but want black for color. Maybe I'll get
both
and change them out as necessary.

There is nothing wrong with my current cables (they look
original), just thought since I'm replacing the MC and
pulling the caliper to repaint, I'd go ahead and do the
cables.

Thanks, -tom
