rear brake res set up - dumb question

Post by hardnutdvd »

this probably sounds really stupid, but on the rear brake. i have seen a few bikes with the green tube coming off the rear M/Cylinder.
Is this tube a replacement for the standard hose to brake res? and the tube is acting as the res?
where would i get one from?

Yes

Your local shop - have a lok in the HRC fiche and get the part numbers.

IMO, it is crap, sweaty and looks rubbish - a nice dinky res pot for the win!
