All mk3 owners,

Upgraded to 13mm Front Master which left the old rubber brake lines feeling a little spongy after bleeding. $52 dollars is a great price for 3 stainless lines from Baxters and we are good to go. You get all three and they also have them in black. Link below. Just sharing. I am not associated with Baxter Cycles.

These come with no coating. Which probably means the stainless jacket is not covered with a smooth plastic exterior.
Is it possible to install these hoses so they are not sawing through other components on the bike??

All for the same price. Makes it a no-brainer.

I fitted the plastic 'springs' from the old lines onto the braided lines although there isn't much the braided lines can rub against on the Mk3 front or rear.

I guess they'd work for a while if you don't mind Chinese or India parts.
There is no way I'd want those on my bike.

I got the black coated version. It is not rough. There is really nothing it would rub against.

It looks like they're making them to order.
