ok so this has happened twice so far.
My brake cable gets snagged slightly on something as I'm riding and it's just enough to yank the fitting end near the master cylinder which in turn unscrews the banjo bolt slightly (causing a minor leak).
It's not a big deal to tighten up the bolt again and gradually pump the air to the top, but it's a little frustrating.

So anyone out there know of a handy alternative that might prevent this from happening?
My cables are already reasonably tied onto the frame, the only loose areas are around the handlebars for steering.....

Thanks

loosened the rear banjo bolt. I now point them down and back a little bit. I have them so they just touch the barrel adjuster on my shifters.

I saw a picture of Peat's bike, he had them pointing straight back.
