HEL Brake Lines!

I did an incredibly cool thing, although I have to admit I was incredibly stupid when doing so. First off I put these on today. Amazingly enuf Canada Post came right to my door and delivered them. I was rather shocked because of the strike, but was informed that the rotation hasn't hit here yet, so if I order anything have it shipped via courier. SO. That being said, this is it.




I ordered a full set, so I still have to put the rear one on. I went with the translucent blue coating, which when the sun shines on it, it gives a glittery silvery blue look. Really well built piece of stainless line. The ppl were awesome to deal with and very helpful. No...the stupid part. I did this being sick. yeah yeah...I know it could have waited, BUT...me being me, I figured I'd put at least the front one on and keep my mind off my guts. It did until I got real woozy and had to lay down on the lawn. Stupid or just plain stubborn...I dunno, but I got half of the damned thing on there. Didn't have enuf left in me to do the rear, so I'll just go back to my spot on the couch and try to drink more water.

Hey Wolfy, I'm trying to mimic you. Been in my bed for two days with the crud but my new riding glasses arrived this morning and I wanted to try them out. Got about 10 miles from home when I started losing my eye sight. Everything started going real fuzzy and it was kind of surreal dong 75 on the San Diego Interstate. Glasses work great but my body let me down. Fuck it, I'm too old to waste my time being sick. Hope you feel better soon.......

It's an amazing thing the body. I haven't been able to eat anything and now my legs are not too happy with me trying to move from point A to point B. I'd offfer you some chicken soup but even that makes my gut roll. I was tempted to test it out, but figured then I'd be past stupid. So it looks like I do have some form of brain cell in this here void I call a head.

Just made a quick trip to the grocery for 6 cans of Progesso low sodium chicken noodle soup and a bag of bagles. Hang tough.

those lines look great

Nice.
Maybe I'll get a braided steel front brake line, although I have no real complaint with it the way it is.

You know their slogan:

If you want the best brake lines, you can go to Hel.

I can vouch for HEL lines as well. I just put some on a couple weekends back, and I have to say I've never had a more firm feeling in the lever. These things are great! Now however, I want some new levers with adjustable reach since the stock levers don't come back as far.
One mod leads to another. It's a vicious cycle!
