|   Brake Cable housing for rear V brakes...how long??!!?? | RkFast
Apr 3, 2002 12:33 PM | | How long should the brake cable housing be for rear V brakes on a hardtail...going from the rear cable stay to the noodle. Ive seen the housing cut short and almost straight....Ive seen it long and looping over the seat post clamp.
Any suggestions? |

To set it up I rubberband the arms into place against the rim and then play with the housing length until I'm happy. Cut it a 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer than you think you need and fine tune from there. |
