2. Braided stainless steel brake lines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_stainless_steel...

   Since the ideal brake system would use only hard tubing for its lack of expansion, but some use of flexible hose is required, the ideal compromise is to use a hose type that allows a minimal rate of expansion. Thus the assertion that braided stainless steel hose is superior as compared to a typical rubber hose when used in a hydraulic brake system.

3. Banjo fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_fitting

   Two banjo fittings (upper center of photo) atop automotive brake calipers. The copper crush washer in the gap between the fitting and body of the caliper completes the seal. Compared to pipe fittings that are themselves threaded, banjo fittings have the advantage that they do not have to be rotated relative to the host fitting. This avoids ...

4. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   Water vaporizes easily with heat and can corrode the metal parts of the system. Water which enters brake lines, even in small amounts, will react with most common brake fluids (i.e., those which are hygroscopic [8] [9]) causing the formation of deposits which can clog the brake lines and reservoir. It is almost impossible to completely seal any ...

5. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP. Most systems work by ...

   A motorcycle fork is the portion of a motorcycle that holds the front wheel and allows one to steer. For handling, the front fork is the most critical part of a motorcycle. The combination of rake and trail determines how stable the motorcycle is. The 'fork' on a motorcycle consists of multiple components.

7. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system

   Two braking pipes of CBS connected to the Disc brake assembly. A combined braking system (CBS), also called linked braking system (LBS), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter. [1] In this system, the rider's action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and rear brakes.
