Keep a close eye on those SS lines, I suggest you get some wire wrap (the spiral kind you can get at Radio Shack) and wrap the SS lines in it, then inspect the wrap, if you see any wear spots on it, try and correct the problem then rewrap. I've worn down the spiral wrap on mine several times but the lines look brand new. Ask pete what he found on his SS lines...
SS lines come in wrapped in poly now so you have that rubbing problem anymore. Earl's is the only company that I know of that still doesn't wrap their SS lines.
