stupid question about stainless brake lines

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

SS line don't increase stopping power; that's a misleading statement that all purveyors of SS lines use.

 What they DO is reduce expansion of the rubber line (There is rubber or Teflon tubing inside the SS braid)when you apply pressure, thereby reducing pedal travel and improving feel.  .
  Rusting is not an issue with stock, reinforced rubber lines.
Many parts of a MkII are made of rubber.....TOO many!
Oh, by the way, it's spelled caliPer.  :)  Caliber is for rifles and handguns. (and .410 shotguns)

  I see alot of braided stainless brake lines on ebay.... They say they increase stopping power over rubber.... Is there any part of a MKII that has rubber?

  I'm trying to figure out what benefit they would be on a rocc other than not rusting?

  Are they talking about the ends that go to the disc calibre? Haven't unhooked one in a couple years and can't remember it there rubber at the calibre.
