Ok... i am a New School Boon ;D
I need some advice on the best brake cable to get for my Avent Race bike... I am running a Shimano DX lever and an Odyssey A brake. Can anyone recommend a good cable please with the right shape/size nipples and ferrules? Many Thanks :daumenhoch:
-
Can't you just run any cable? Clarks Powerglide have always been my fav but you'd need to change the ferrell for an MTB type one and that#s about it. Just about any regular inner cable will work, reckon this one might look good on your Avent but you would need to change the inner to a BMX type one...

Thanks m8.... I am not sure a standard nippled cable will fit... i think the shape you have pictured might be the one i need.
I have a Red and Black new school Shimano DX lever.

They usually come with both types and you cut off the one you don't need, but check before you order - the guys at CRC are great and very helpful :daumenhoch:

A normal one will fit Andy, there is a little plastic flap on the rear of the lever blade that you lift up and the nipple sits behind it :daumenhoch:
I use either Shimano cables or Odyssey slick cables
:) DINGO :)

weh hey! nipples and flaps all in one thread :D but alas no pics :(

Its about as close as i get to nipples and flaps these days ;D
Thanks Dingo :) I did have my eye on an Odyssey slik cable but wasnt sure if they were for freestyle/park bikes....
I will bag one of those in red ;)
Thanks for your input too Marty... Always much appreciated :)
