(1/1)

Peeps,

What length should DIY brake cables be cut to?

Specifically, what is the length for the front inner and outer, and the rear inner and outer?  ???

[For those struggling with the maths, I am expecting four different dimensions in a credible reply]  :loser:

Thanks,  :daumenhoch:

Clean.

*ps* Too fooking lazy to strip a build and measure them, for anyone that might be wondering.....  :-\

Rob,

You so totally missed the point of my post.....

I am being completely fooking lazy arsed and want the answer to land in front of me for no more effort than a few slack key taps on RAD.  :idiot2:

So..... Can anyone tell the idler what he needs to know?  ???

Clean (well, grimey, actually, as he can't be arsed to wash, he is soooo lazy)

it would really depend on the length of the frame, hight and width of bars to get an exact answer, easier just to buy a long one and cut it to size.  :)
