Title: Brake Cable Sleeve and Core Lengths
Post by: Clean on February 18, 2014, 08:50 PM: 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)
