do you still have enough play for the brake cable to stretch?
1/2" will not be good enough or long enough.
all very well when suspension sink but it will also go up.that's suspension do.
a lot of folks forget about this.
they only think in compression no thought is given to rebound until it happens.
and the last thing you want is for the brake tube tear open and all the fluid all over you and your nice paint work.
so bare this in mind .
Good points John. In my case I have slack to spare as I replaced the hose with a slightly longer one when I did my caliper upgrade. I always test them at full extension for comfortable slack and full compression for binding/bending/kinking.
