    Brake line clamps do they clamp the line tight or should they be a little loose in the clamp?

    The ASR clamps I use allow the line to slide as needed.
    I only have 1 clamp per side

    How I set it up. Brake line on the left side when you are sitting on the bike is 1.5" longer to make it reach better as its a little long to go to the side.

    Mounts I installed on frame to route the brake lines. I can wrap a bit of rubber hose around the brake line to help stop rubbing.
