Has anyone changed their brake hoses for Goodridge? What if any difference can be felt and is it worth the £60?

    only is your hose needs replacing.

    If your hoses are fine then I would leave them.

    If youv only got 60 quid to spend then you are better off spending it on better tyres or a comfier saddle but if you want to top off a nice build then they are good you cant kink them no matter how hard you crash

    It would be more of a finishing touch to my Heckler build rather than only having £60 to spend. I just wasn't sure if there would be any performance advantage as I ride a lot of DH's as well as trail centres so my brakes tend to be put under a lot of pressure. :twisted:

    I have converted all my brakes with goodridge hoses, and tbh I find they are very sturdy and definately give a better lever feel once converted and do look good too. as a finishing touch it is worth the investment in my opinion.
