+2 Brake Lines?

[bkelley]

I'm looking to get a set of +2 arms here soon and was wondering where the best places to get brake lines was. Don't have to be steel braided, just looking for some longer lines to accommodate the +2 arms. I'm not sure if you can get +2 normal lines or not, I just don't want to spend a ton on them. I did find these steel lines on eBay for $60, though: Link (http://tinyurl.com/steellines).

since you're not necessarily looking to upgrade to braided lines, your stock break lines will work with +2 arms.

Oh, well then. I thought they might work but would be a little tight. If they work with no problems I won't worry.

yep, a lot of people use them with +2s, including me, without any problems.

Me too!!!! I use them.

So it turns out the arms are +2 +1. Should I still go for them? I've heard some people don't like +1s but I should be able to get them for really cheap and it may be my only chance to get some arms. Also, if I do get them, will the stock lines still work with +1s?

This is what they look like:

Those look almost exactly like the Burgard A-arms that I just put on my bike. I would recommend finding a good deal on some stainless lines. Even if you bought them for the "feel" alone. They firm up the feel quite a bit. My +3+1 arms were not even close to be able to use the stock lines.

I probably will get some braided ones at some point, but for the time being will stock lines work with the +2 +1? Not sure if that extra +1 will matter or not.

it really shouldnt matter because its not really a plus one.....its just really a one inch difference in the placement of the ball joints
