This is a brake cable/housing kit with everything you need to set up standard front & rear old school BMX or MTB (mountain bike) brakes. If your bike currently has 5mm outer diameter housing and cable knarps shaped like the ones in the picture, then most likely this kit will work for you (however, not all hardware may be used for your particular application).

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 LIGHT BLUE
  • 4 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)
  • 2 67" galvanized brake cables w/ standard barrel knarps
  • 2 cable end tips

Want to make your own kit? We sell all components separately as well as the cable housing by the foot on our website. We also have options for stainless steel cables, anodized end buttons, end tips, etc. - EXCLUSIVELY in the kits on our website.

IMPORTANT: There is no substitute for MEASURING your bike before ordering. While there are some rule of thumb standard for bikes from a specific era, there are no absolutes. Save yourself time and money and MEASURE first, order once.

We have over 2500 old school and retro BMX products (as well as hard to find stuff for other types of bikes) on our website. If you don't see what you're looking for here, there's a good chance we have it there.
