following on the conversation about bleeding brakes I was wondering what the concensus was on using standard rubber hoses as opposed to the braided stainless ones?
Did I read somewhere that stainless braided were not leagal for road use?

Rubber brake hoses will swell slightly under pressure and give a softer pedal feel. Braided hoses do not swell and give a firmer feel and are much to be prefered. They are street legal in the US.
I changed from rubber to braided on a motorcycle a few years ago and was very happy with the results.
