Hi Konstantin:

Are you sure the groaning is caused by the hoses and not just your rack
needing a bit of a lubing? Apparently when your rack sliders get dry
they groan and need a bit of white grease. Slide the boot back a bit
from both ends and put a bit of grease on the internal part of the tube
where the nylon slider makes contact.

Cheers
George
