CJS Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Does anyone have an idea what the piece of rubber is used for on the 2021 Gas Gas TXT rear brake hose that connects to the calliper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I think that is to help hold the kickstand up when riding sections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought even if it is not such a good idea. Securing or spring loading something to a brake line is just asking for trouble.

Even if it seems unlikely to cause an issue I have to worry about what if. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJS Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yes it pulls over where the spring attached to the stand. The rubber is weak by comparison with the brake hose and I think would break before the hose as its next to the calliper. Cheers for info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
