braided hose brake lines

[PaulSmith]

You obviously didn't read my post properly, I never said that there was no point improving braking technique rather that there was no point doing so on a degraded failure prone braking system when the alternative was to fit new lines and learn how to make the best of a fully functional safe braking system.

We are going around in circles here. I say he should practise to improve, then decide if he should change, you said he should change and then practise. If his brakes aren't good enough to practise safely, then he should not be riding the bike at all.
