what brand are they? I have Russell and they have a clear plastic coating across the whole line plus another two at each end.
I have what ever brand that I got from Ken's GB awhile back. I'm not sure if I have can get one or do I have to get a whole set.
I ghetto fixed it this morning. Taped the chaffed portion. It should be OK for the winter. I'll replaced all four lines in the spring.
To be sure the clear plastic isn't nearly as tough as the steel braid... but in any event, you should consider fixing the routing to make sure there is no rubbing in the future. If you need to, the rubber grommet things on the line can be moved up and down to wherever the abrasion is.
that's good to know. thanks.
