Why do they have different angles for noodles for v-brakes?
Isn't 90 degrees sufficient for all applications?

thanks

90 front, 135 rear...f'nætik (aka næstep)

Front is a straight shot, perfect for a 90° noodle. For the rear, use a 90° if you want, but if you have a heel, ankle or calf clearance problem, the 135° noodle will route the housing back in towards the center of the frame and out of your way.
