Braided hose pedal travel

[Tucker]

Do braided hoses reduce the amount of travel the brake pedal has?

Or is this dependent on how the brakes are bled?

that accelerator pedal is hard enough to get to as it is.

braided hoses will reduce play in your brakes as will correctly bleeding them.

If there is a LOT of play then you either have an airlock / low brake fluid....bleeding will reduce this and fitting braided hoses will reduce it further...

Braided hoses made the responsiveness of my brakes much better, better feel through the pedal. Def worth it just for £50 quids etc

Braided hoses on my setup definitely led to a shorter pedal. Amongst other things.

 

[Tucker]

so the pedal is higher slightly?

by how much so approx would you say? like 10mm/20mm

No, not higher, I don't think? It's just a shorter pedal in the sense that it doesn't travel as far before biting. When it does bite, the pedal feel is more progressive and consistent.
