PSA - Check your brake hoses..
I know it's been mentioned before, but I figured I would bring it up again. Make sure you check your rubber brake hoses. When I had my front wheel off yesterday to test fit the spacers, I noticed that one of mine is cracked 
So make you sure you check yours on a regular basis. And despite warnings from some of the guys on here, I think I'm going to try out the Stoptech stainless lines. If I decided that they're a bad idea, then I'll install a set of OEM lines.

And just how do you check your brake hoses? Visually, for surface cracking of the abrasion cover?..
IMO, another meaningless exercise, designed to sell hoses. Industrial service hydraulic hoses are often made with perforated abrasion covers, such that they will not balloon with a pin hole leak in the interior pressure hose.
