Brake tubing

[jwanck11]

I have to replace the brake tubing on the trailer.

There is a choice to go with either solid tubing or flexible tubing.

For those of you that are mechanically inclined, can you think of why I might want to steer clear of flexible tubing? I would like to run the flexible (much easier.)

Thanks in advance!

Here are links to the tubing I am looking at:

Only thing I can think of is flex tubing can rub easier if not routed correctly, and it has more give in brake application... But That is more vehicle related the rubber hosing expands more then braided or solid hose to give a soft/squishier pedal feel.

Thanks for the input. The rubbing is what I am concerned about...

I think I have settled on the rubber now I just have to figure out whether I need 20 or 25 feet. Damn the information we get with our boat/trailer is just on this side of blows.
