Mikku:
So I got the brakes on, after various fiddling around with pad washers. Before I cut the cable and make everything look neat and tidy, I'm not sure about the cable length. From the rider's view it looks a little long (sticking out the front of the bike too much for my liking) but I could live with that. However, when I look at it from the side, the cable bow (for want of a better word to describe the curvature of the cable around the headtube) looks too big and too low. What say you Radsters? Leave as is or take it all apart and cut a couple of inches off the bugger? ::)

Spen69:
Looks great Mick  :coolsmiley:

Cut the cable unless you're planning to do bar-spins on it  :shocked:

Picklez:
I'd say trim it down sir imho, coming together nicely though  :daumenhoch:
