Wow, I knew braided cables worked better, but this is probably the best proof
wow, its seth :o
Hi
I really like that brake teaching tool on the stand so viewers can get a better understanding of their bikes & each part of it.
lmaooo the editing XD
I use the linear cable (braided cable) for mechanical brakes (both Disc and V-brakes) on my trials and trail bikes and it makes a worlds difference! My brakes NEVER slip with linear housing. ever.
He has the mustache of knowledge!
Im a bit doubtful about this test setup. That big dangly section of housing that has visible flex I think plays a big role in performance. In a real setup, there is never going to be that much unsupported housing (hopefully)
Yes there will be: from the levers to the first zapstrap (or cable wrap, whichever you use) there is lots of unsupported housing. More so for people who like bar spins, or when the cables go underneath the bottom bracket on a suspension bike.
this is all good and well but where do i find the braided housing I called around to my bike shops and nobody carries it at all LOL??????
I just had to special order some. Jagwire makes a kit with both cables and all the little bits for $50. Yeah, I think most bike shops are not even aware that this stuff exists.
Which company's make woven housings?
+Jim McDowell The housing we used in this video is made by Jagwire, but there are several companies that make woven housing.
Thank You.
I'm told the Yokozuna brand also makes compressionless (woven) brake housing. Jagwire's is slightly more affordable though.
@@parktool I literally called like 8 shops around me and nobody carries it??
I disagree. If the cables have the same tension by the brake lever and the same friction in the housing the tension at the caliper is the same which gives the same braking power. Stiffer housing will only improve the feel and perhaps modulation of the brakes.
I totally agree with your argument about the braking power. But one thing you have forgotten: Maximum braking power is better with stiffer housing, because of you need more force to reach the handle bar with the brake lever (=brake force limitation).
I just installed some, and my mechanical discs went from feeling spongy at the lever to super solid at the end of the lever travel. If you prefer sram hydraulics (spongy) then you probably don't want compressionless housing. If you like shimano hydraulics, then you would probably also like compressionless housing.
da fook is he talking bout willis.
