OK. First part arrived and it looks like I'm not gonna use it. I wasn't sure what was meant by "flex lined". I thought you meant getting one that had the bellows rather only braids. So I got one that was double braided with the bellows in the middle. But I got it today and the thing loses almost about 3/4 inch in I.D. Take a look. Kind of hard to tell in the picture maybe. Is this what I can expect?

Yeah - that's no good - it will get WORSE after use.

You need to look for rigid liner style

It looks to be rigid in between the braids (which is why I bought it), but the inner braid is closing it off. Emailed the seller for a return on it. Off to try another from the seller you mentioned.

They're all rigid under the outer braid - it's just the difference between having a braided or rigid inner liner.....

Gotcha. Ordered the new one last night.
