with the discount we now get from HEL - probably not.... if i were to fit new braided hoses i would go for a seperate line to each caliper....

I presume the ones your suggesting are the 3S rather than the 2S is that correct

no - 2f - the 3s is iirc a direct replacement for what you have - one line goes down and then splits into two, one to each caliper

the 2f takes two lines from the resevoir, one to each caliper

as said, 2F are 2 separate lines both from the reservoir with one to each caliper. 3S is one line down to a splitter then 2 lines from the splitter (one to each caliper) which is standard.

and, as i have said in other similar threads and posts - if you are going to change to braided hoses, it makes sense to change to two lines....

(Am fairly sure that my skill level does not notice the difference, but the blingtasic appeal cannot be denied....)

Do you get the extended banjo bolt with that, you'll need it if you swap from 1 line from the master cylinder to 2

To be honest I'm quite inpressed with the Venhill lines as I love their design to allow the hose to move around to the best position for the caliper without resorting to the old rag & pliers trick.

For us summer riders having chrome banjo's is fine although I'f pay the extra for stainless if I was using it all year round of course

You can get them on fleaby for just a bit more than the Cobra lines
