Title: How easy is it to change brake lines?
Post by: Neio79 on August 21, 2018, 12:06:19 PM
I am getting SS braided lines for the Zed.

Just wondering how easy it is to change the lines and bleed the new ones yourself?

Can be a bit messy but it's a simple job. Get yourself a vacuum bleeder because bleeding bike brakes can take time.

Have lots of paper towel at hand to clear any spills because brake fluid strips paint.

Or, pay no attention to any advice Carbon gives. Ultra safe.
