Default new brake lines....

So I bought some used Galfer s/s lines a month or so ago off eBay for 25 bucks. Finally got them put on yesterday....holy crap....Between the new fluid, braided lines and fresh bleed job what a drastic difference. If anyone has money laying around I gotta recommend you buy some Galfers

Don't mean to be a nay-sayer, but I would guess the upgrade has more to do with them being SS lines and less with the brand. But yea... switching from the spongey rubber stockers to the SS lines were a huge improvement for me too. Absolutely the best upgrade I've done on my bike!

i would imagine you are right on... i have goodridge on my back brake line, though it doesnt seem as snappy as the fronts... horrible comparison (front and back) i am sure but still..

Agreed. I got some EBC HH sintered pads when I did my lines and rotors and really liked them. It was a good time to do a full swap.
