Questions & Answers

It is not a shifter cable housing, but rather a brake cable Do you have a compressionless brake cable or a standard brake cable?

We are talking about brake cable here. I thought it was excellent quality and that there was a liner in it. This is the bike I got from Niagara Cycles. A non-index property is one that is not subject to resale.

In what way is Non Index Housing different from Index ?

A non-profit organization A compression-free housing is one that is not index-based There are fewer. The system should only be used when brakes or friction shifting are needed. In this case, it should not be used for indexed shifting systems (in which each gear has an individual click).

What kind of cable will this casing work with? There is another application for an extra-long inner cable I have in mind. ?

I have bicycle brake cables that are 1/16" in diameter and the rear cable runs through this cable housing for 52". When three 2 are inserted into the loop, it runs smoothly. We curved one at 180 degrees and two at 90 degrees inside a radius of about 5" (approximately).

Moobybike says "tearing and bending of inner spiral." An inner spiral? Does the exterior sheathing and lining consist of plastic or silicone?

In short, yes.

Selected User Reviews For SUNLITE Lined Brake Cable Housing, 5mm x 50ft

Bicycles don't have to be just for the riders The various pieces of equipment I work on require me to repair, replace, build new cables, and customize them

5/5

Sir Frank Bowden, founder of the Raleigh Bicycle Company c. , is a man I owe a great debt of gratitude to. Bowden was awarded the patent for this Bowden Cable Housing in 1902. This method is quick, easy, and highly durable for custom length or repair cables There is one. Decide on the length needed, but allow 1/4" extra for each. You should gently touch up the ends on a fine grinding wheel while being careful not to overheat. the local cable (1/16" by 1/16" inch, stainless or not, but just 1/16" by 1/16" inches)
Five. Solder your custom ends to the cable
6. Done! These are sturdy and solid cable housings, allowing precise control of things like brakes, throttles, hydraulic actuators, spring loaded locking pins, etc. You are able to make many different things with just a roll of this, some inner cable length, and some solder iron. There's enough room for the 1/16" cable inside the inner liner to be precise, but loose enough for good friction - have a look at this example. With no restrictions, there is total freedom of movement. The two of them are a wonder.

The cutting doesn't seem to be very precise

3/5

This cable cuts cleanly, but it is expensive for the amount of cable you get, and it adds an extra step to bore out the center hole with a hand tool (yes, I am using a brand new sharp Park tool cutter). In my shop, we use a lot of this stuff, so I will have to use up the roll, but I intend to move on.

This is flexible

3/5

This cable will ensure you will experience squish when braking hard. A product such as this should be avoided if you want firm brakes. This product is overly It is because the brake cable housing squirms or straightens out during a hard pull that some of the force is absorbed by the brake arms, instead of transferred.

There is a gray/blue undertone to the white

3/5

Because I did not like the color of the housing, I never used it. As an example, I uploaded a photo comparing the Sunlite housing with other white housing.

This item was not of the quality I expected and I thought I'd save a few dollars purchasing it

3/5

Not at all! Make sure you get a good product. Despite having new sharp wire cutters, it is hard to get a clean cut. Crushing the tubing results in it breaking. There will be a huge waste of material and the edges are jagged, so I am skeptical regarding the durability of my new brake cables. My wish is to have been able to return I like the look of it, the price is great, but the quality is not as good. Make sure you read the fine print!.

Whether you have a few bikes or not, this is a great tool for the home mechanic

5/5

It is a great tool for home mechanics. Each time you replace cables, you will be spending more money on cable sets than on individual cable replacements. A roll of this and a ten-pack of brake cables run out about at the same time for me. They are easily refilled The fourth cable With this, you can ride five bikes.

I was looking for something just like this

4/5

This cable housing was exactly what I was looking for. In order for my hydraulic vehicle lift to operate properly, I need a longer release cable. This will do the trick. Sadly, the bulk lengths of the wire that goes inside are harder to find. After searching for a while, I did locate a supplier who provided great service but it isn't available on.

The only thing that matters is brakes! It is very good to have such a cable housing! important to understand that brakes are meant for use with the housing

5/5

They are rigid and can handle a lot of tension and pull. In fact, I used these for my shift cables as well, oblivious to the fact that shift cables have a different type of housing. * The white color looks great as well, it just takes a little extra effort to sort them.
