Thread: braided brake lines ?? why race use only?

Tweet

Not to avoid liability, they don't want to pay the money to have them DOT certified. I wonder if there are any chaffing problems between the liner and the stainless braide that might become apparent on a high milage vehicle?

My dirt bike has a braided line for the front brake. If you want to talk extremes that is the place to look. The vibration and chaffing are ridiculous. The line is encased in a protective jacket which has worn through in some spots and the stainless braid is just starting to wear, but the line is still holding up. It's 20 years old, too.
