    I am about to replace my brake lines and am not sure what size. The parts I'm about to order are
    1. 10 mm banjo fitting with 35 degree angle (for caliper)
    2. 10 mm banjo fitting with straight angle (for reservoir)
    3. 38" #3 braided brake line (I am bypassing joint)

    Mostly worried about the #3 part and slight worried about the 10 mm part although I do measure a 10 mm ID on the old banjo fittings.

    PS also getting new crush washers

    all the hoses and fittings.
    go get yourself a few feet of clear plastic hose about the size of brake line, lay it on your bike where you want the brake line to go, mark it, measure it and subtract for the fittings ( 1.5 inches each), there ya go. a little long is better than short.
    10mm is right , the bolts are 10 X 1.25
