Brake Cable

[FuNMoNsTeR]

Ok... i am a New School Boon 
  I need some advice on the best brake cable to get for my Avent Race bike... I am running a Shimano DX lever and an Odyssey A brake. Can anyone recommend a good cable please with the right shape/size nipples and ferrules? Many Thanks

Can't you just run any cable?  Clarks Powerglide have always been my fav but you'd need to change the ferrell for an MTB type one and that#s about it.  Just about any regular inner cable will work, reckon this one might look good on your Avent but you would need to change the inner to a BMX type one...

Thanks m8.... I am not sure a standard nippled cable will fit... i think the shape you have pictured might be the one i need.
 I have a Red and Black new school Shimano DX lever.

They usually come with both types and you cut off the one you don't need, but check before you order - the guys at CRC are great and very helpful

A normal one will fit Andy, there is a little plastic flap on the rear of the lever blade that you lift up and the nipple sits behind it 

I use either Shimano cables or Odyssey slick cables

  DINGO

Its about as close as i get to nipples and flaps these days 

Thanks Dingo   I did have my eye on an Odyssey slik cable but wasnt sure if they were for freestyle/park bikes....
 I will bag one of those in red 

Thanks for your input too Marty...  Always much appreciated
