Sport Direct Cycle Rear Brake Cable (SBR20)

Description

Genuine Sport Direct · Part no. SBR20

A rear bicycle brake cable, inner wire and outer casing, 150cm long and described as a universal fit, for renewing a frayed, rusty or stretched rear brake cable. Fresh cable brings back a light lever feel and a brake that releases properly, which is often all a dragging rear brake needs.

Good to know

• Is it long enough for my bike? Measure the old cable from lever to brake; this one is 150cm, so it does any run up to that length once trimmed, with the outer cut to match the old casing.
• Will it work with my brakes? Hydraulic disc brakes use fluid hoses, not cables, so a brake cable suits only cable-operated brakes such as rim, drum and cable disc brakes; check the nipple at the lever end matches your old one.
• Anything to watch after fitting? New cables bed in and stretch a little, so check the adjustment after a few rides and before any long descent.

Which one?

For a complete set with housing caps and cable ends, the Simply Cycling Universal Complete Brake Cable (CC051); for new pads at the same time, the Sport Direct Cycle 'V' Brake Blocks – Black (SBR01).
