Fact: Magura will not warranty their brakes for use on a tandem unless you use Goodridge braided lines.
Fact: Goodridge lines and fittings meet or exceed the design standards of stock Magura lines/fittings.
Fact: Stock hoses cannot handle the heat that tandems can produce under sustained braking. For this reason, Magura will not allow their brakes on a tandem without the Goodridge lines.
So here you have a brake manufacturer specifically advising to use braided lines from an aftermarket company, and all their reasons are exactly opposite of what you posted. Feel free to provide something to back up your comments.
By the way, Goodridge lines are available with a clear coating, so they don't scratch your paint. It will look nice on my bare titanium frame.
you need to jump outside the small box that is magura, do your research then post back. Everything is true that i stated for the few exceptions about magura. Who rides that magura **** anyway? how do they ride? i have only field tested them, not a full ride test. dont let my junior status fool you, I know what im talking about. We are talking bike brakes by the way not super high pressure car or slede brakes, there is no need for these hoses if they are not required they create problems.
