alignment?

[Jeff Hartman]

Hi, The braking performance of my 95 is fine on the front, but on the rear (standard rubber hydraulic hoses) I have a hard time getting the response I want with my MX boots.  Would stainless lines reduce the distance I need to depress the rear brake lever to get firmer braking?  If so, what SS line would you recommend?

Thanks, Jeff Hartman

Here's a link to a REALLY good discussion on aligning your rear wheel, EVEN if you're very experienced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB4DsHV8SAQ Cheers, Ed

Jeff, The rear brake lever REALLY BENEFITS from adding something on top of it - I use a piece of 3/4" skipole attached to the lever, and I've seen guys use a small piece of hockey stick. Give it a try. Ed
