Any question answered...

Pegasus is fine, I used them a bunch of times, mostly on short domestic flights between Istanbul and other cities.

Look hard enough and you'll find odd reviews about everything.

Many thanks. .no, the concern was that it took a fair amount of scrolling to find anything that much better than a terrible review! Worth a look, 90% (at a glance) of recent reviews highly critical - it's, strangely enough, the weirdness of them that makes me less bothered however the frequency is a bit worrying

All that really matters is their not crashing record. Internal flights in early 00s Russia would make any airline look good.

Yes, appreciate that's the most important thing but (with two toddlers) a degree of comfort and conscientious service is a consideration. For me, cheap, clean, moderately comfortable and efficient is absolutely fine

Sell them into slavery and travel first class on BA.

Anyone ever repaired a split hydro brake line using a coupling? Or some other sort of inline doohicky

Thank you! Bought some, and they did fit.

I'd imagine the effort and expense would be greater than just getting a complete new line.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that 3 were killed in a Pegasus 737 crash just last month in Istanbul.

Not sure they'd make enough for a Diet Cola let alone a first class ticket!

Yeah probably so. Thinking about it because it’s a cargo with zee calipers / banjo connector (not found one long enough)

Also the routing is annoying.

Although tbh I haven’t really looked- I’m sure there are other options for just replacing the fitting and not the whole line

If you did this, might it make sense to try and future proof it by using 2 pairs of the couplings so that you can just strip out the main hose, regardless of where the failure happens?

Not repaired a line as I usually just replace and the cost of the fitting is more than a new line.

For cars or motorbikes, if I have the old line I take it to a hydraulic specialist such as pirtek. Pirtek are expensive but then they can come to you to fix the broken hydraulic line.

I use HEL HELfor brake pipes on motorbikes as they usually have the kit on the shelf and are cheap. For stuff I have to make myself I use Think Automotive as they guys that work there are really helpful.

I can't help but think that you've been looking too hard at reviews, and not the news:

Edit @efb and I seem to share an interest in plane safety. Odd.

Ooohhhhh! Ok, given recent issues ranging from near-missed to mishaps to crashes I think I'll swerve Pegasus. In my naivety, I general (I wonder if others do too) expected all airlines operating within the EU and subject to same/similar aviation legislation and standards to have similar safety records, the main difference being a variation in services available. I see now I'm wrong

On a positive note, no fatalities on this one.

I found this.

My understanding is the banjo connector only comes preinstalled from Shimano. If you swapped the calliper for one that takes a straight connector you/your LBS would have no problem making up a longer hose.

(Also, have you spoken to the bike manufacturer?)

Don't you believe in 3rd time lucky? Think of the discounted cancelled seats. They'll have buffed the scratches out anyway.

I think jagwire and a few others make aftermarket hoses and banjo connectors that you could run a longer hose from.

February's crash was well covered by UK media. I don't look out for these incidents particularly, but one of our work routes is [was] Pegasus into Sabiha Gokcen Airport.

Can a siphon system work in the following way; with a ramp up after the initial fall in height, if the gross height difference is a drop towards the target?

Yes.

100% yes.
