    I saw a bike today that had a short piece of clear tube that acted as the rear reservoir. Has anyone seen one of these before or know where you can get them from?

    Cheers

    8 mm I think, I found the clip that came with it pinch the hose and leaked. And some one else posted up about it, same problem

    Not fussy on the HRC kit personally. Looks tacky IMO. I'd rather go with an aluminium machined pot like Rizoma etc.
