It's BRAKE, not break.. How can so many people get that wrong?

The size of the lines is irrelevent because you should only be buying brake lines made specifically for the FC.

Get new rubber lines. They work just as good, last much longer and cost much less.

Rubber lines last longer than braided steel?

Mine were fine after 20 years. I just replaced them for peace of mind.

Of course...same with me.
I was curious about the provenance of NZC's assertion that rubber hoses "last far longer".

I've heard the SS wear out quicker. I put SS ones on thinking they were better but when I get some money I'm probably going to go back to rubber.

well if you are thinking of going to a full stainless setup like all the lines and hozes then im just going to ask why? otherwise u can get a set of ss lines for the front on one of the preformance part sites around here.
