When they get hot enough the rubber goes soft and the hose pulls out of the crimp
They are NOT recommended for motorsport applications
Been nice knowing ya

Let me point this out
The ones with the rubber insert... not recommended for track use cause the ends pull out
Their new ones with what looks like a steel or aluminium anodised insert... I haven't handled one physically... they say they are OK for track use
Just cause everyones doing it doesn't make it right
Just cause its a piece of braided hose doesn't make it the right thing for the job
But hey... its your car... do as you please
An ADR standard means nothing on a track... we all know that
Ring John Margharetti at BQ Melbourne if you want clarification... tell him I said so if you like
I'm just thinking of you mate...I'd hate to hear you lost it cause a brake hose pulled out at the track

Just an after thought...dont the standard brake lines have the exactly same style of crimp and rubber lining external hose style?

Its got a stronger hold cause its not 2 pieces and doesn't soften like the insert... yet rubber hoses can fail in high temps too of course
Goodridge hoses have a barb on the shank to "grip" the teflon section of the hose... Then the sleeve is metal crimped onto that and there is no way it can move
I have never seen a Goodridge hose pull out... they can break at the crimp like any hose under whip situation ... but never pull out
And you obviously don't know much about this particular brand of hoses and the way they are made
Bike hoses don't get very hot at all
But thats cool... if your not getting them hot you won't have an issue
But I've seen them pull out of at least 4 saloon cars after 3 laps and less on tuning days
Heres a thread from another forum regarding a failure

Brake lines are being fixed Monday..can bleed the system then..will do the mechanical gauges today but wont hook up the oil pressure one until I fire the engine..I run a temp gauge straight off the oil pump first to make sure we have pressure. Pouring rain here so may as well stay in the shed and do more.
