  • Never ending CAAD10 Disc build continues - FINALLY got the replacement forks.
    Wheels ready for collection at SBC - Awesome.
    Started cabling in earnest last night to discover there's only one inner brake cable in my Jagwire XL box. Only one end of the giant cable has a metal ball on it, so I can't cut it in two. Faff.

    In case useful to anyone cabling for mechanical discs... To get the compressionless rear brake housing to run better through the frame; Thread outer through and cut to length. Mark on cable where the major bends are; BB and cable exit on chainstay. Remove. Bend heavily by hand at these points. Thread back through. Mine sits soooo much better now and inner cable doesn't seem to drag.

  • One more thing to add - if there's a slight amount of friction, fitting Campagnolo brake cable will reduced it to nothing.

    (note - depend on levers, if the slot for the brake cable in the levers is an O shaped, then you're fine, if its a U shape, don't).

  • That's a great tip, many thanks. Sram Red 2012 shifters, so it's O-shaped. I'll pick some up today so I can get this on the road.
