| which brake tubing
So I am building my first tuber and I was wondering what you guys use. Napa had 2 different types. The regular type, and then this other type that was easily bent and was black. It was about $4-5 more for a 6ft piece. It just seemed like it wouldn't keep its shape with hitting rocks. Any input would be appreciated.

| Thats double the price!! Go with the silver stuff, SAE fittings (metric fittings are like 2X's the price too) Buy about twice are much as you think you will need.... on your first try you will burn through alot of tubing (keep all your scraps) Have fun, post pics. If you need any help, post up or PM. |

I found if you draw it out at the size you need it it helps get your bends neater and more even. As far as the type of brake line, the cheapest is good enough. If you have your frame designed correctly you can't bend it with a normal roll over. |
