Title: Measurement of hose...
Post by: NiceGuysFinishLast on May 03, 2007, 10:30:20 AM
The one from the rear master cylinder to the rearset assembly. Part 17 in this (http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/showschematic.asp?dept_id=720102) image. I know there's a way to tell diameters from the part number.. so I'm thinking the 8 in the part number (732806-001) would mean that it's an 8mm ID hose.. but don't remember for sure.

Thanks guys.

Ever get an answer???  I'm gonna bleed mine tommorow ( feels mushy but pads are good )  I can just pull it off and whip out the caliper :thumb:

nope, no answer yet. I was wishing I had my digital calipers so I could check for myself.
