So, are the ST/RS brake lines rubber, with a braided stainless steel 
sleeve and another rubber sleeve over the stainless steel? In that case, 
I could see the need for replacing them regularly.

Most braided stainless steel brake lines I'm familiar with use teflon 
tubing under the braided stainless steel. I guess teflon doesn't degrade 
as quickly as rubber?
