Failed WOF - Non crimped kevlar brake hoses

[imdying]

Having said that, I would remove that heat shrink and make sure that acute angle has not damaged the braiding. Then I would reposition the hose to relieve that stress, as that'll fuck it.

One of you moderator sluts should extract that post and sticky it, entitled 'Is my WOF man a moron when he rejected my braided brake lines?'

Ahh ok. After a closer look mine seems to be crimped under the black heatshrink?

Which was the point of me posting the link to that other thread.

And cocky pricks like this one wouldn't call people a smartarse for trying to point them in the same direction.

You're fucking welcome.

I've always wondered about cocky pricks... I mean, what else would your prick be but cocky?

Which was the reason I didn't bother to ask if his current ones actually were compliant.

That appears to be fine. If you remove the banjo, you should not be able to remove that female end.

It's perfectly legitimate to screw in a banjo fitting like that.

Awesome. I didn't even notice the crimping until I went to take the photo all this time thinking my hoses were illegit. Thanks for your help.

In defence of the WOF inspectors I do believe the blame is mostly due to the poor wording in the manual. Instead of "undone" it should say something like "Hose end fittings that can be detached from the hose using hand tools are unacceptable."

....but then again a hacksaw is a hand tool so where do you stop?

Listen, I've already admitted my mistake and apologized to you so why don't you just shut the fuck up and get over it instead of carrying on like a whining bitch!

Your apology came across as a sarcastic wank to be honest and I didn't take it at all seriously. You really do need to stop being a cunt and realise that most people on here will actually try & help you if you give them half a chance before you start calling them childish names. Retard.

Girls Girls, You're both pretty, Can we move on yet?

Just asking a further clarification from our actual braking expert (Mr Cocky, or is that Mr Pricky?); I was under the understanding that Ally fittings were illegal. As the rules & peoples understanding of them seems to be in continuous change I could well be wrong/misinformed/absolutely awesome [delete as applicable].

However having a few sets of broken ally fittings about the garage I'd change them and not let them near my race bike or road bike. Dumb material to make a fitting out of if it is going to be fitted to a continuously shaking/bending semi stiff hose.

I've had lines made up by Alert which is near you, or if you wanted Rubber people can make those up too.

Is the hex fitting on the end of the hose a swivel fitting? (As in, rotates easily on the end of the hose without coming off the hose).
