braided brake lines

I love this its not a sport its your life in overdrive.
is that supposed to be a life lesson or something?? off offense but... wtf?

Re: braided brake lines
If you ask anyone who rides my bike they will tell you that my brakes are strong. I do my stoppies with only one finger. Never enough power. Lines will keep fading down and give you more feedback. They just make your brakes more predictable and consistant.
