Hmmm, I never considered that. I wonder what the brake line tubing and fabric have been doing while the Grove LG has been flexing? Could the tubing pull out of the 90* fitting?

To avoid pulling out of the fittings, you would want to lay it out so there is no pulling force on the brake lines as the gear flexes and the lines either slide freely thru the fabric or flex gently sideways. I would avoid gluing or fixing the lines at the point they penetrate the fabric.
