Blew out brake line- time to replace
When i bought the beast the pedal would go slow to the floor, it would stop, not great, this winter pumped the brakes about 8 times and sure enough, bam, right to the floor. Lines are all shot, going to replace- from what I have looked at- seems 3/16" line up front and 1/4" line out back? I'm going to grab 25' of each size in copper nickle- I'm sure I'm going to need fittings but I'll see when I first pull them off how bad those are. I have a double flare tool as well- anything else to think of while replacing them? Anything you guys have done while you were at it? Just trying to get it turned into a dependable winter/camping machine.
