Brake hose damaged

They seem to have hoses only for both circuits, rear and front. This is 170 Euros...100 Euros more expensive than OEM rear brake hose
If your hose is not listed on their website , email them with the length you want and fittings . Alternatively send them the original line and they will make one up by return post . They make them in house to order . A rear line cost me £38 . They are just down the road from me so if you get no joy let me know and I will stop in and see them !

They are out of stock at Hermys and 2wheelpros. A guy suggested that I simply remove the damaged hose and take it to a bike parts store in Moscow, where they measure it and find some other hose available in stock which fits. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? No rocket science, is it? Are they all the same, these hoses?

To be honest , yes technically they are ! The local bike shops here often have braided hose on a reel , and a choice of unions and bends plus olives and you can build your own hose to your own requirements ! The only difference is that diy hoses are connected to the unions via olives and nuts as opposed to being crimped , but still perfectly fit for purpose ! I know that BF Goodridge to name just one supply diy hose accessories to performance part specialists . I'm sure they supply on line too ! Just make sure if going this route that you order the correct length and angle of bends . Good luck and if all else fails my offer stands ! :thumbsup:

Thank you mate! Will let you know!
 
Venhill are another company who sell diy brake line kits on line !
A couple of points I would like to make clear regarding my previous statement , firstly brake lines are basically the same but have differences with fittings . The triumph is metric . I would be surprised if you could find a similar pipe from another bike , as the rear brake pipe has a straight connector into the ABS pump as opposed to a banjo on each end , ie banjo on the caliper end and banjo on the rear master cylinder end ! Secondly , when it comes to refilling and bleeding the rear system , I have done it the traditional way myself with no ill effects but triumph recommend the use of a code reader to open the ABS valves ! Finally , I meant to say Goodridge hoses and not BF Goodridge , as they are tyres ! Sorry for causing any confusion . :oops:

Then why do Hel lines fit? Because they produce lines tailor made for Triumph? Does the set come with correct fittings?

Regarding other manufacturers, like Venhill, cannot I just take a hose of required length, and find two fittings one staraigh - into ABS and the other whatever it is on my bike (banjo?) and put them together?

Or did you mean to say that I will hardly find a ready-to-use line, but I can still make my own one?
 
Yes . Company's like Hel , goodridge and venhill make direct replacement lines using originals as patterns for each specific make and model of bike . They are a like for like upgrade and bolt straight on .
I meant that you are unlikely to be able to walk into a shop and buy a line from a different make or model that will match that particular line in length and fitment ! If you were to take your damaged line to a store that sold the diy components , you could match the hose length and fittings !
