How do you route you twin disc brake

[Cozzy]

With you upgraded twin disces front end, how would you route your brake line.

In the 90's most of the twin disces bike, they run one line from the master to a T join and then to both of calipers.

Some pople run both lines from the master to the calipers.

Nowadays, most of the sport bike seting is one line from master to the calipers and then the other line from caliper to another caliper.

I would like to ask which way is better and why so ?

The Best way is from the T to both Calipers so that Both Get Even Pressure.The Other ways will work but not Very Well with Rubber Lines.With Braided Hoses it will work OK.You'll still get More Pressure sooner to one Side more than the Other.

If the internal diameter of the hoses leading to the calipers are the same on both sides of the Tee-piece there will be equal pressure at each end of the hoses regardless of respective overall lengths. It doesnt matter where the Tee-piece is in relation, each caliper will see an equal pressure and move by the same amount. You dont have to have identical length pipes to each caliper.
I would do it using a Tee-piece and the shortest hose lengths possible. Short lengths will mean, a miniumum area to flex, less fluid will be needed to fill the pipes, and it will be easier to bleed......plus it will work out cheaper

Trash the tee connector. Run 2 lines from the m/c. Better braking with less effort and less connections to deal with potential leaks.

Show me a professional race bike that has a tee.


Using a line to one caliper then to the other is only for being cheap, typical from the factory. Heat can be transfered one caliper through the line to the other causing fading.

Didn't think of that.

By the way, everyone told me connet the line from one caliper to another would make bleeding the brake alot harder, but it look kinda good.
