this is a pretty stupid question but how long should my front brake cable be?
my forks are standard size i just want it to be perfect so theres like no slack in the cable
i have an ody slick going to back dia compe 990s with dekka pads and im going to put those on the front pretty soon so i was wondering how long the cable should be in inches? i neeed to know this so i know how much to cut it down to
thanks

dude, i run mine as short as possible. usually so it just hugs the fork on the outside. and then i run the top so the cable shoots down bars without it putting any bad kinks in it. so as for how many inches, it really depends on your setup, cause everyone is going to have differnt height bars so theres no magic number.

stick one end of the casing in the lever, run it down to the brake, cut it

its about trial and error more than anything...my only tip is dont kink it too tight...and lube the hell out of it...

Go to the tech forum and read the dialing in your brakes thread.
