I have to admit I wasn't a believer.. I have heard over and over that Galfer lines make the brakes better, after the first 50 times all I heard was wah wah wah wah wah wa wa....
BUT
I listened and reluctantly bought a set of Galfers thanks to Cycle Brakes to put on the bike.... Uncle Steve and I met up at his house this morning about 9:30 and planned on changing my lines to Galfer and he he a set of Hel's he won at the stampede.
We did my bike first and when the lines were all bled I went out for a test ride, I got to the end of the drive and tapped the brakes to make sure they still worked (they did) and I went down Steve's street... I grabbed a handful of brake and and it stopped, I kept doing this over and over each time hitting the lever more aggressively and man did it make a big difference... I came back and told Steve to take it out, he came back and said the same thing...
We put his lines on his bike and he took it for a drive, he came back and was as shocked as I was on the change, once he felt it on his own bike he was able to really see the change...
I know I know some say that the lines don't do anything but I will tell you that they do....
Pretty incredible to tell you the truth, when I applied the brakes they stayed firm and the more I squeezed the faster I stopped (I think they are supposed to work that way) but I never felt the brakes give or get spongy....
Several of our sponsors sell Galfers and other brake lines so if your looking to buy check the out....

Brake lines are always one of the first upgrades I make to any bike. Now you can spend the next 11 years considering -2 vs. -3 lines
