The lines are flexible, so is it actually necessary to loop them in the same way as is done with the more rigid aluminum tubing?
Necessary? I'm doubting it but that's what their manual depicts. The potential relative motion between anchor points is essentially nil and expansion wouldn't be a concern. My only guess is this would help assure any minimum bend radii are not exceeded transitioning from the caliper to gear leg. They have no control over wheel pant selection/application where an issue could occur. Once again, my only guess. Maybe Tom will chime in.The lines are flexible, so is it actually necessary to loop them in the same way as is done with the more rigid aluminum tubing?
WE started wraping the 14A Beringer hoses after some builders stated there was alittle side loading from the hose. Typically the hose would route along the aft side of the gear to the caliper, see the Beringer pics--Necessary? I'm doubting it but that's what their manual depicts.

Can you get me smarter here, Tom? Side loading on the caliper? Isn't the Beringer design floating disc/fixed caliper? Is it enough to matter?WE started wraping the 14A Beringer hoses after some builders stated there was alittle side loading from the hose.
