braided lines

[KingzofNY]

Ive been looking into +2 front brake lines ..and noticed there are two different styles companys make ... some have one line from the res down to a splitter then 1 line to each brake ... the other type has a double banjo at the res with a line to each brake .... Is one system better then the other .. or is this just a matter of style ..

I ordered my +2's with single line that t's off into two. I like it better this way. Looks cleaner at the bars but don't think it should effect performance. I don't think you can go wrong with used ones. You can always find them on ebay for less. I bought a matching clutch cable for $30 [what an improvement!!] & +1 rear brake line for $10. If I'm correct someone is selling those front +2's in the Sale section.

I've got the double banjo style and it works good for me.

IMO the single line with the T-fitting is a much more elegant and professional solution. I the parallel single lines looks much cheaper nad certainly has a bit more opportunity to leak (though it;s not that likely). I suppose one might also look at the twin parallel lines as being inferior as there is at least 1/3 more line involved in that setup as well as 1/3 more sealing surfaces. From an engineering standpoint the T setup is a thought out solution while the twin parallel setup appears to be more of DIY deal (up until this thread I didn't know people were selling line kits like that, I actually thought people were doing it themselves at home with off the shelf part from their local hydraulic parts vendor). :ermm:

i have the t-style and i like it , i dont know about function but the t-style looks better i think , the dubble banjo style look kind of rigged , just my 2 cents
