its just the ends that are likely to break.
A lot of manufacturers use plastic ends/connectors which become the weakest part of the line. Depending on your use of them and the weather they'll break easily. If they break...well...your lines arent connected anymore and your only stopping power is downshifting and locking the rears w/ the cable.

From my research, Earl's lines have zero plastic parts and the new Goodrich lines are supposed to have them (but I havent seen it yet.
You could of course make your own though...if youre good enough I mean...brakes are nothing to mess w/ if you have any doubts.
