[Closed] overtight bend in hydraulic hose - problem ?

noticed that my reverb hose must have got caught/squashed in a bar spin tumble such that it has a bit of a lump in the black casing on the inside of the bend. Works fine, feels almost as it the outer black bit has just delaminated a bit. Presumably it will just stay as is or eventually burst ?

don't really want to replace a hose and bleed etc if its largely cosmetic..

Try holding the kink to see if it expands when you press the button.It'll probably be ok, it's not under massive pressure, so unlikely to explode. If it does let go, it'll probably just squirt a small quantity of oil (hopefully not in your eyes/on your brakes), and leave your post stuck in position.
