hi, i need to replace my cable with some goodridge cable. at the moment i have some hydro cable but it it expands under pressure. and after bleeding my brakes twice to try and get some sort of bite, ive come up with the cable expanding. that and you can feel it!!


so my question...... :lol: is it just a case of replacing the hose and and the olive and insert? or do i need to buy some sort of expensive goodridge fitting kit?

    you buy a kit and fit and bleed.

    one of the most expensive performance equalisers.

    the kevlar weave in most hydro hoses does the same job as a "Goodridge" hose.

    sounds like you will have the same issues Bleeding after fitting the Goodridge kit.
