Very nice tutorial man. I never understood why rubber lines are used for brakes, all they do is expand instead of directing all the applied pressure to the rotors. I can understand back in the day when ABS wasn't around it served as a sort of buffer if too much pressure was applied but other wise cost aside this should be standard on all vehicles, the cost per line is next to nothing, furthermore this same principle has been applied to street bikes, I changed out the lines on my bike and it made a HUGE difference.
