I'm using Nylo-Seal NSR 1/8" OD, .026" wall stuff so the internal volume is as low as possible and the hoop and longitudinal stresses are reasonable. I originally expected that the small internal cross-section would make the flow rate low enough that the brakes would be slow to apply and slow to release, but that has not been the case. It seems that disk brakes operate with such little displacement that even .004in^2 of cross-section on a 4-foot tube provides adequate flow. Thanks, Bob K. |
