Darn you, Jim! You kept me awake last night! Thinking about the "fix" for your brakes.

I hate to break it to you (and probably start an argument), but changing the lines should not affect the performance of properly bled brakes. In fact, you could connect them with either 0.010" ID lines or 1.0" ID lines without affecting anything except response time or required force on the MC.

Look at it this way: In a sealed system like brakes, a caliper responds only to the volume of fluid and pressure supplied to it. So, if the MC supplies 1 ci of fluid, the caliper will receive that 1 ci, no more and no less, regardless of any intervening rigid container, such as the brake lines. (The 1 ci is an arbitrary volume -- obviously the caliper will receive only enough volume to move it the distance imposed by the force applied; the point is that the volume can only be exactly what's supplied by the MC, in every case.)

I yield the podium.
