A flair will have a sharp edge from the cutting wheel or the saw which will very fast destroy the new hose. Even a double flare at the end of the line where it's cut will 'still' wear through the hose because the hose flexes right there from vibration. That is why the bubble in the line to hold the clamp is up the line from the end on factory tubes, never right at the end like a brake line or other screw type fitting needs.
