i think the biggest issue with them is that you can't see (think visual inspection) if they're old/brittle inside and about to fail.
with the hard rubber lines, you can easily see what condition they're in. i still have rubber lines, and my brake pedal feels just fine. braided brake lines are just for the "bling" factor, IMHO ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |
