Handbrake Cable Cover
StevieB - 9/9/07 at 09:11 AM

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a cover and fittings for my handbrake cable?

I've looked at the usual cable covers for bike brakes etc. but they're all too small.

I want to ditch the heavy steel cover from my sierra handbrake and get something a bit smaller and lighter.

i'd personally say leave it. it's sprung weight and it's weight where you need it over the back wheels. if you're that bothered, maybe wear a thinner jumper or put half a pint less fuel in the tank?

if not, hein gerricke do universal clutch cables for motorbikes afaik, with 3 mm cable. then you'd just have to fab some ends.
