replace it! It may or may not start leaking. If it's simple cable housing you can leave it without much worry. But it wouldn't hurt anything to replace it.
Since you asked about steel braided lines I am assuming that it's a hydro line for a hydarulic disc brake? Goodridge makes about the best lines going.
Oh and in the future please be more specific with your questions. While a picture is worth a thousand words, those particular pictures don't explain what we are looking at other than a gouged hydro line or cable housing, could be either one. And as above, each has a different answer.

Mr. Jensen, There is no way to know if the brake that housing/line is attached to is a cable or hydro brake. To get proper answers you must use proper terms and provide enough information. The OP has been around here long enough to know that. Educating is more than just serving up the answers. If you can learn to think about the problem you can not only get the answer but understand why and how it is the answer.
So is Chain Reaction Cycles the only place I can get the lines? I can't find them elsewhere...
Shiggy - You can easily infer from my post that I'm referring to a hydraulic system with words like "leak" and "fluid". :nono: Instead of making a big deal out of it and trying to establish some e-status, you could try a little common sense first.

In six months I doubt you will be falling off a cliff telling yourself you wish you didn't spend that extra $30 on a new break line.
IMHO breaks are not a part you want to ride till they fail.
