|   Anybody use Avid Full Metal Jacket... | 82%bodyfat
Nov 20, 2002 8:56 AM | | cable housing? I need to recable my roomates D.I.S.S and I am thinking the FMJ's might be a good choice. For those not familiar with Avid FMJ, it is a stainless steel tube that runs from the disk brake in 400mm lengths. Looks to be better than normal cable casing. |
| I use it and like it | shiggy

| I'm using it front and rear | 2melow

Avids are sweet brakes, they are even sweeter with Full Metals installed. Go for it. |
| Can you use those with ECC or an adjustable travel fork? (nm) | offroadie

Nov 20, 2002 10:35 AM | | My fork has ECC.
The tube is not fixed to the fork crown. |

| Thanks. It's call Silver Prismatic | 2melow

| Life is better with right/front left/rear braking | clydsdal
