Brake Inner Cables
The brake inner wire transmits movement from a mechanical brake lever to the brake mechanism. This collection also includes caps for cut wire ends. Identify the attachment on your road or flat-bar brake lever; wire head and length must match your needs.

Suitable inner wires for mechanical brakes
First check the wire head that seats in the lever. Road and other lever types may require different heads. Assess length according to frame routing and front or rear brake use. Material and surface information can guide maintenance choices but cannot make the wrong fitting compatible.
- Compare the wire head at the lever connection.
- Check housing condition and compatibility too.
- Distinguish inner wires from end caps in product photos.
Does a wire end cap secure the brake connection?
No. It helps limit fraying of the cut end. The load-bearing brake attachment is made at the relevant mechanism.
Is brake wire used in hydraulic brakes?
Hydraulic brakes use a hose connection. Confirm your system is mechanical before buying wire; after replacement, adjust the brake and check its function.
