agree with Rob about regular lines expanding so not as desirable as steel, but like I said think after a while they become porous & although no visible sign of leaking air in or fluid out still lose some braking power over new lines (& always more than stell line).

like I said - agree with Rob but think (though might be old wive's tail) my hypothesis on "porousness" over time is part of story too - think why they say replace them after a period (think in Clytmer's Savage manual it somewhere said every 4 years?)

However the line was 10yrs old that was replaced, could you notice a difference vs. a new rubber line I do not know, or perhaps once done you just never worry with it again.
