heftee 0 #1 July 8, 2003 I am needing to buy shorter risers. I currently have velcro and have no issues with them, am used to them, and like the way I store the excess brake line. My friend has tuck tabs and routes his excess brake lines in an odd way (odd because I'm not used to it) but really likes those as well. What are the pros and cons of each and which do you recommend? Are there any safety issues with one over the other that I should know about? Thanks for your hellp. ------------------------- "If you've never jumped out of a plane, the best way I can describe it is it feels as if you've just jumped out of a freakin' plane."

PhillyKev 0 #2 July 8, 2003 Velcro requires more maintenance, isn't as secure if not well maintained, and the hooks can cause your lines to fray prematurely. Tabs have that loose hanging excess brake line, although I believe some designs have a built in place to store it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkySlut 0 #5 July 10, 2003 Yeah, I think that I can manage to do that for you...give me some time. PM me if I forget. I will try to remember to bring the camera tomorrow. I think that I am going to have to write a reminder on my forehead though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
