Well, every motorcycle mag ever whines on about how the braided hoses transform things, and that old rubber is rubbish. Can you imagine the freebies continuing to flow if they wrote 'yeah they look good, but don't make any difference...'

However, have you - or anyone else for that matter - ever felt a rubber hose bulge under pressure? I'll bet money you haven't. If they really were a danger, then they'd be date stamped and the MOT would fail them...

I replaced the hoses on my FJ at 18 years and 85000 miles old as I bought into BS, and nothing improved.

30-15, back to you!
