WHY GOODRIDGE? The bitterness of Poor Quality lingers long after the sweetness of Low Cost is forgotten.

• Goodridge brake hose assemblies feature bare or coated stainless steel braided hoses, with polished stainless steel and chrome or black zinc plated mild steel hardware. • The coated hoses feature a durable PVC coating, Teflon inner liner, and premium stainless steel braided armor. • The PVC hose coating adds great looks, abrasion protection to expensive parts, is easy to clean, and contains a UV inhibitor. All clear coated brake hoses meet ASTM G155 criteria, which is a synergetic weatherability test that checks for hose discoloration by simulating a one year tropical UV environment at 263.125kj/m2, unlike plastic or vinyl coatings. • The Teflon inner liner is an inert material, which is compatible with all hydraulic and brake fluids, has a heat range of -158° to 500°, and shields brake systems from moisture, unlike other materials like nylon. • The stainless steel braid has a total of 72 wires per hose and is superior in pressure rating, flame resistance, and volumetric expansion than all other materials, including Kevlar or copper, resulting in unmatched stopping power. • All Goodridge brake kit hardware exceeds the 48 hour salt spray criteria established by the Department of Transportation. Our black zinc plated mild steel meets a 72 hour threshold on the salt spray tester, while our chromed mild steel checks in with a 96 hour salt spray test rating. Our mild steel and stainless steel components are shatter proof unlike other common metals used in brakelines, such as brass and aluminum. • Kits ship complete in clamshell or box packaging with bolts and washers.

GOODRIDGE BRAKE LINE MAINTENANCE Like any other parts on your bike, Goodridge coated brake, clutch, and hydraulic hose assemblies require regular maintenance. Our coated hoses require regular applications of a mild spray wax with a UV inhibitor. We have found "Protect All" is perfect for the needed extra protection. HOSES • Apply spray wax on a clean polishing cloth. • Make a complete swipe to your hose, covering the entire hose length. FITTINGS • Our chromed or zinc plated mild steel fittings need a shot of any lightweight spray lubricant, like WD40. • Apply spray lubricant wax on a clean polishing cloth. • Wipe a light coat of polish to all plated fittings, avoiding the hose. • Our stainless steel fittings simply need a quick rub with your polishing cloth to remove any built up road grime.

Average maintenance time is about 1 minute, 37 second
