Hi all,

Am in the process of trying to get some brake lines made up for my front brake upgrade, but I need to know the length of the front flex line... I've done a search and can't find anything on it, and I don't have the time to pull my wheel off and go crawling around trying to measure it.
Someone is bound to have the measurements or an old set of hoses from a previous upgrade...
I have a TH Sports so all 3rd Gen lines should be the same length.

Cheers
Pete

54cm is enormous. You're talking about the flex line between the strut and the caliper right?
