Here's a little top tip for spongy brakes.

This will work for just normal spongy brakes or after fitting new brake lines. Loosen off the reservoir cover so there is a small gap for air to escape, then pull back the brake lever as hard as you can & tie off with something (I used a cable tie). Leave over night, In the morning release the lever then tighten reservoir cover (after checking fluid level) & give the lever a couple of pumps.....hey pesto a super firm brake lever!!! It worked very well for me.

Hi LikesToThump, I think the rear was $35 & the front just over $40.

OK Joel
Shopping again. I checked the site and they only list for the SF. Can anyone shed some light as to different hose lengths between S and SF models?

If I had hindsight I would have ordered 2"inch oversize. They we're perfect at first but when I put on bar risers & beefed the forks up, i'm actually very close to being to short at full fork extension!! I ordered for the SF model & would like to know myself if the S front hose is longer!

I am going to find a parts fish to compare part numbers for S and Sf to clarify matters. I have bar risers as well. I have a Sumo conversion, however still standard length, stiffened S front forks.
Hate to order Galfers, only to find I am missing an inch, or three.
