Very few people understand how short the actual safe life of those lines is.
I know that reads funny but the ' is' refers to ' life' ...
As Whunter's post shows... they can look good on the outside and delaminate on the inside.. which can cause one side to LOCK in the clamped position...
I and others have had this happen in the past... discussion in the archives...
They are cheap ....and just for the record.. NEVER HANG YOUR BRAKE CALIPERS BY THE BRAKE LINES... make a wire hanger to hold them.
