🔧 Brake Cable Kit: Installation Do’s & Don’ts

✅ The Do’s
  • Measure carefully: Match your old inner cable and outer housing lengths exactly before cutting.
  • Use proper tools: Cut housing cleanly with dedicated cable cutters to prevent fraying.
  • Install end caps: Always crimp the included metal ferrule tips to protect cable ends.
    Check tension: Perform a stationary brake test before driving.

❌ The Don’ts
  • Don’t reuse: Never use old, frayed inner wires with new outer housings.
  • Don’t over-lubricate: Avoid heavy grease if your kit features pre-lubricated slick liners.
  • Don’t kink lines: Avoid sharp structural bends when routing the housing along the bike frame.
  • Don’t overtighten: Stop tightening the clamp bolt once the inner core is firmly locked to avoid crushing threads.
