I've got SS brake lines on my teener. I've read they are hazardous because the SS braiding could fray and puncture the brake lines. I know they offer an advantage because they do not expand as much as the straight rubber lines. Ever have one fail? Where are they the most likely to fail? How often should they be inspected or replaced? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I did have a front line fail on me years ago. It just blew out while I was pumpng it . Pedal went slowly to the floor. But it still maintained pressure on three wheels so it wasn't a big deal.
Like anything else, they need to be checked evey once and a while. Paul |
