On the advice of a friend, went to Canadian Tire to buy pre-made brake lines for Ms. Triss. (I didn't come home with any.
Are brake lines threaded like pipe threads? the ones I tried went in about 1/4 inch and then stopped. Or is the thread itself wrong? (BTW I know I wasn't using the blue metric ones - OK I was but I figured it out.)
also, all the lines I looked at were male at both ends. My friend was going to cut one end and help me put on new ends - is there such a thing as male-female ends off the shelf?
Finally, this is just to make it pretty, there's nothing actually wrong with the old ones except they aren't nice and straight - is there an easy way to Straighten them?
