Default Brake Lines

Hi Guys,
How are you running the brake lines on your Pro-Link Gear? I'm having a little trouble with my EuroSport brake lines, I have the brake nipple rearward of the axle and facing up.
the brake line is getting caught between the strut and wheel when the knee action of the strut is working.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Mine route along the backside of the strut so as they scissor, the brake line forms a loop aft of the strut. Since i haven't found a good way of keeping the line attached to the strut, i just use two small zip ties. one on the lower strut and another on the upper strut. So far it has worked well and been reliable

A couple wraps of electrical tape has always worked for me.

+1 on the back side of the strut. On my Euro then off the back of the strut I go to wing tip side of the retract mechanism. Another option to zip ties is 3/8" strips cut from aluminum foil tape or silver "Trim Tape" from the LHS.
