    So I finally got the front and rear brake flex lines replaced with the ones that Marie at headstrong off-road sells.

    They're definitely not anywhere near too close to the limit now, but the front ones almost seem too long even at full droop. the front flex lines are basically constantly pushed up against the frame and I'm worried about them rubbing through. for the moment I put a piece of rubber around them loosely, nothing permanent but I just wanted to protect it for the moment.

    Ideas? The photo below shows the issue and my temporary fix.

    Really? Just makes me worry. I was curious if there was some kind of a right angle coupler or something.

    Nah. Just use some zip ties to loosely secure them away from any pinch points if you're worried.

    I'll have to see if there's any way for me to do that safely
