clicking sound when fork compresses if you have LHRB

[Theo]

Maybe you've watched this video and noticed the part about the clicking sound:

I had that problem too the first day I rode my Varg and so before using it again I switched the positions of the brake lines: since then, on my bike the rear brake line is the closest to the number plate and the front one is between the rear one and the phone cradle. I haven't had that problem anymore.

I experienced the same thing. I just used a zip tie around the LHRB hose and the handlebar to pull it out of the way. Surprisingly I also noticed an improvement in front fork feel too. Let harsh on the small bumps.

Just bend the banjo fitting at the master cylinder to be more straight. That pipe is very soft and pliable.

I did that but it still wasn't enough.

This is what I did. Ran a zip tie through a short piece of rubber hose, around the brake line, back through the hose, then zip tied it around the bars. It allows for a little bit of movement, but keeps it away from the front brake line.

Engineering at its finest. I would have given extra credit if the solution involved an old beer can, a stick, or some form of pool noodle. But at least your fix involved a zip tie, one of the holy trinity of backyard engineering solutions (zip tie, duct tape, WD-40). Keep it simple, I always say.

Well, to be honest, there were several beer cans involved with that design. Empty beer cans.

Sometimes, inebriation leads to inspiration.
