CHR1 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Folks, Fitted a pair of Gilles Variobars to the R1 and need to find rubber tube suitable for linking the front brake resevoir with the master cylinder as the standard ones too short. I have been told that this has to be a certain type of rubber to suit brake fluid even though it isn't under pressure in the brake system. Anyone got any idea where I can get hold of some. None of the bike shops near me (or Halfords) have anything? Thanks in advance. Chris
VARIABLE9 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Non hydroscopic is what is needed, Tygon 2075 for the win. I hear it is pretty expensive over there? I am sure someone has it cheap, or an equivalent. Here is a spec sheet: http://www.mcmaster.com/#tygon-2075-tubing/=17vluj
Timbo S2 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 I got mine from a very nice fella on here (number 6). Can't tell you what is is, though would advocate the use of a clear pipe, as it allows you to see any bubbles trapped...
