Default History repeats itself - just like a bad pint!!!

So this is a question about brake lines.....
I'm thinking about going for a set of HEL braided lines, but which do I go for? 2 lines or 3 up front?
I've heard that 2 may be the better solution, but I'd like some feedback (and as you lovely people have not done me wrong yet........)
It's be great to hear your views (even about makes of lines)

Cheers all

The difference between 2 and 3 lines

2 lines are easier to bleed for obvious reasons.

I'm guessing 2 lines will need a new double banjo bolt?

I've seen teh HEL lines on flea bay, and am tempted.

Keep us posted on how you get on.

Check that the kit comes with the bolts and washers. Most do.

Will do - just wondering what colour to go with (blue bike, but will their blue clash?)

2 lines are cheaper and easier to bleed.

you just need a double banjo bolt by the master cyclider, and a line going down to each calipar.
