Subject ...Nylaflow Lines:

I think there is a real danger with these flimsy lines.  I have one of
the
early Glasair retracts, and I have had both break lines fail within  a
month
of each other.  Not at the brake, but where the line flexes at the
scissors.
The failure seems to happen when the lines get old and cold,   OAT 
2 degrees F. 14yrs. old,  they just can't take it.  I think it isn't a
good idea 
to run hard line clear to the brake, the Cleveland brakes need to float
some
