Are Stainless Steel brake lines worth buying
Hello everyone,
Just as the topic question asks, are stainless steel brake lines worth the investment?
(I tried searching the forum for this specific question and I was not able to find my answer).
I am basically a street/commuter rider. I don't do any track days. I occasionally group ride and go on long distance trips (long distance meaning 80 or 90 miles each way, not like across a couple of state lines). I don't see any twisties other than the on/off ramps of highways and the occasional areas with nice back roads.
I am basically just doing some small and minor upgrades to my bike and was wondering if this investment was really worth it.
Thanks for any input.

The main Point in changing the lines over to stainless is the old rubber lines age and expand as you pull on the brake, your brakes can become spongy in there feel. some people change them for a new set of rubber lines as they dont like the feel that stainless lines give, personally i have stainless lines do abit of everything when it comes to how i ride and i love them but its all down to personal preference.

they are worth it if you like tinkering with your bike and want to upgrade it completely out. youll notice a difference but not one that makes them unbelievable. unless your lines were trashed out like mine. if your lines are fine for the type of riding you do id say leave them, and then when its time for new lines or pads even-you could just get a nice kit.
