Mike, you missed my Sunday excitement. Benjamin and his friend got on my bike at the church picnic and tipped it over onto the right side while dismounting which caused a weak point in the rear brake line to start leaking (blessing in disguise). Kids are safe, bike was not damaged other than some minor scuffs.

Yep, if I pump the brake pedal it'll go wee-wee tinkle on the grudge floor

I was thinking of Gen-yoo-ine HD. Looked up the part on the microfiche site Larry sent me the link to a few years ago. $150+ for that line from them...Ooof!

My bike falls over all of the time, all by itself!
