DogT said:You guys probably don't remember the metal lines. I had those and they started leaking (not gushing) and the replacement was the nylon. They were still good when I rebuilt, but rather brittle, broke taking them apart, but 40 years is not bad. The new ones seem fine, can't imagine them cracking or breaking. Lots of Nortoneers use them, and usually the only issue is when they get old, like 15 years? Anyhow I like the look of the small black lines and it works for me, you know even the banjo could come apart if it was not made right. I just haven't had any of these problems others seem to have, but then I don't thrash it.

My bike will be ridden 5 miles at a time, to and from work, with an occasional longer ride. I won't take it over 80 probably ever.. I think the neoprene can withstand that.
