Eyesspy - did you build the SS lines a piece at a time, or were you able to get a complete setup from a Russel, etc. ?

the feel at the front brake lever on my single rotor '06 WG is really solid. I noticed however on my '07 UC that it also felt abit soft. Thought maybe it was just my bike, and maybe it wasn't bled properly and some air was in the the lines. bled the brakes, using a putty knife to move the pads back a bit, but this didn't help. went to the dealer and tried the brakes on all the new UC sitting in the showroom. they all felt the same, just like mine. then went to a SE UC, and it was solid, like my WG. Difference was that the SE had braided lines, so my next step is to put them on mine. have heard about rubber lines expanding a bit. don't see mine moving around at all when you squeeze the lever, but am going to swap for braided lines in an attempt to fix this.
