For those that have braided steel break lines...
Does the GOODRIDGE lines make THAT much of a difference because they are thinner then the other aftermarket brands? I'm wondering if it's worth the money because they cost signifigantly more then the ones that are not as thin.
Here is a link to show how thin the GOODRIDGE lines are compared to other brands.

i would only use the -2 lines for race use only . they require constant bleeding do to the lower amount of fluid in the line. Goodrich also has -3 lines available , there the same size as everyone elses. Yes they do provide better feel if you like your brakes REAL tight.

I just fitted Goodrich hoses with gold fittings and bolts to match the preload adjusters and front callipers.Looks real good and gives good feel too.
Money well spent!!!!!!!!!

Note: Always use stainless steel fittings on a road bike, especially in cold and damp climates where salt is used on the roads. Anodised alloy fittings are race use only and for good reason. There have been lots of reports of year/2year old fittings splitting due to corrosion within the fitting that was not obvious from outside. In racing fittings tend to be changed more regularly (due to crash etc!) and spend less time in the wet. If you must use alloy, change the fittings or at least pull apart and inspect on a yearly or bi-yearly basis!
