The Carbon Hose is a Nice Subtle Addition on the Grom

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the stainless steel front brake hose from HEL. All components are stainless steel from the brake hose to the banjo fitting and even the banjo bolts. About the feeling of use: The look of the carbon hose is a nice subtle addition while the performance improvement is very noticeable when compared to the OEM Honda rubber hose. Products to buy together: The matching rear brake hose from HEL would also be desirable to purchase alongside the stainless steel front brake hose to complete the look and performance all round. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about one hour to complete, remove as much of the old brake fluid as possible from the reservoir then undo the banjo bolts and remove the OEM Honda brake hose. Route the HEL brake hose as the OEM Honda brake hose was and torque down the banjo bolts before bleeding fresh brake fluid through. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a quality front brake hose made from all stainless steel components as compared to some other brands that use aluminium and only at a slightly higher price. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently this service is unavailable from Japan Post, EMS is much faster which is nice. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: HEL brake hoses use stainless steel for their hose material and use the crimped method for their banjo fittings which is the best material and manufacturing method you can get.

Front Brake Hose from HEL

* About quality and texture, This product includes stainless steel banjo bolts along with the copper crush washers to complete the installation. Stainless steel banjo fittings are firmly attached to the the stainless steel braided hose via a swaging process. * About the feeling of use, Brake feel and performance have increased and the finish of the stainless steel hose with associated stainless steel hardware gives the braking system a much higher quality appearance. * Products to buy together, The matching rear brake hose from HEL is recommended. * Difficulty of installation, Installation includes the fitting and bleeding of the brake hose. The process was completed over several hours due to the difficultly bleeding all the air from the hose. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, There are cheaper stainless steel brake hose options available but when it comes to brakes you don't necessarily what that, I much prefer the banjo fitting to be swaged to the brake hose for safety. I have used HEL in the past and with continue to use them in the future for piece of mind while riding. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, The Honda OEM rubber brake hoses do deteriorate over time so this purchase is not just about better performance but also about safety.

Rear Brake Hose from HEL

* About quality and texture, Stainless steel banjo fittings are crimped in place on the stainless steel braided hose and included are stainless steel banjo bolts along with the copper crush washers to complete the installation. * About the feeling of use, The appearance of the clear sheath over the stainless steel braid looks very impressive and the brake performance has definitaly improved over the old Honda OEM rubber hose. * Products to buy together, A new fancy Vee brake rotor from EBC would be nice to upgrade along with the brake hose for better performance. * Difficulty of installation, Installation included the fitting and bleeding of the brake hose. The process was completed in 60 minutes with no difficultly. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, The HEL rear brake hose is not the cheapest but still priced very well for a full stainless steel brake hose with crimped fittings for maximum safety and reliability from a world leader in braking. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, If you are not familiar with the prcess of bleeding brakes them you may also want to purchase a brake bleeding kit to make sure all the air is removed from the newly installed brake hose, also available here on Webike.
