fitting 226's

[richy_t_123]

Thinking of fitting 266 brakes to my vts. Only thing I want to know is what sort of flexys do I use with them? Will normal vts ones fit?

Thanks

Depends who you talk too.

Yes the standard lines have the correct ends on but
Some say standard are fine, others have experienced split hoses from then getting over stressed.

I know which camp I'm in, brakes are an important safety feature and not one you should mess with half heartidly

Obviously if you're uprating your braking system you'd want braided lines too. So may as well get proper uprated ones to fit perfectly.

in answer to your question yes vts ones will fit

[Ross]

Yes, vts ones are fine. No reason whatsoever to feel you have to change.

Im running 266 with standard hoses too.... I just had to bend the bracket a little so the hose cleared the wheel. But this would be the same with braided lines.
