Rear brake cable?

<< < (2/2)

hairygit:
Just one question, WHY? The standard rod linkage is strong, simple, and virtually indestructable ;D, cables can stretch, get stiff and bind, and snap when you really dont need it :'(

Voxonda:
There is really nothing to it than this. And yes you need a 4 m/m brake cable and if you keep your bike well 'tuned' it'll survive all of us. Seen enough bad maintained bikes with oem brakes that did not work. But the rod does it's job well for 4 decades so that says something too.


Let me know, cheers.

Tomb:
I know lads that have drilled the brake plate and bolted on the outer cable holder from inside instead of welding.

Why cable?? coz we can, I mean why build a cafe racer out of a perfectly good standard bike  .....coz we can ;D

joeleeman:
I wanted the rear brake cable because I think it looks neater  I've already cut the pivot point for the rear brake off the frame. Plus it's got homemade rear sets and I thought a cable would be easier than a bendy rod
