BMX Freestyle Brake Cable Kit to install a front brake via a Potts Mod and a rear brake with a single cable rotor (such as an ACS rotor). This kit is for a rotor - NOT a gyro.

This is a CUT-TO-FIT kit. Be sure you have good quality STEEL cable cutters.

Here is what you get:

  • 7 feet of lined cable housing in ORANGE. This is plenty of housing for both a front and rear brake *if* you measure carefully before cutting.
  • 6 nickel plated brass cable housing ferrules (NOT cheap steel ones that can rust)
  • 2 aluminum old school-style brake lever ferrules (also known as end buttons - for non-threaded brake levers such as MX122, Tech 2, Tech 3, Tech 4 and Tech 6)
  • 1 brake cable 1.5mm X 1700mm (65") - this is for the front brake
  • 1 brake cable with one normal barrel knarp (for rear brake lever to rotor) and the other end a road bike knarp (from rotor to the rear brake). This cable is 1.5mm X 3070mm (121") and is then cut to make the two cables needed to install the rotor.
  • 3 cable end tips
