Mechanical brake cables need the appropriate lever-end fitting, length and routing. Worn cables or housing can affect brake feel and operation.
Choose a part that fits your bike
Check the brake lever type and housing condition. Some entries represent bulk packaging rather than individual cables, so John can clarify the selling unit.
Send John a photo of the part, its markings or your bike. He can help check the details before you decide what to buy.
