Customer Reviews

LifeLine LifeLine Essential Tandem Inner Brake Cable 4.5 5 10 10
I feel like this cable is a little hidden gem. Initially you may get annoyed by the extreme amount of cable stretch when first setting up the cables. as with any cable though you should thoroughly stretch them by pulling the lever hard multiple times when initially setting up. Once setup though there is no more cable stretch, similar to an expensive set of cables. The greatest thing about these cables is they are designed for tandems and have a road and mtb end. This means you get 2 cables for the price of one. I cut these right in the middle and get one mtb and one road cable out of a single length. 04 February 2015
Does it's job. It does it's job. I can't really see how it is different to others I have used before. 13 January 2015
Stupidly long! Very long and so useful. However, good use a front specific cable as to not waste as much metal 04 November 2014
It Is A Brake Cable This component was fitted as part of a service overhaul as I was fitting new brake and handle bar gear levers and couldn't re-use the old cable inner. I can't remember the last time a cable failed on the tandem so only time will tell as to how durable the product is. The wire doesn't appear to be coated with anything clever like PTFE which is a surface coating available on brake cables for solo machines, so again only time will tell as to whether any form of rusting with show on the surface wire. The only real criticism of this product is that it is a little short at 3000mm whereas most other makes for a tandem rear brake are 3050mm in length. That 5cm difference may be crucial if you have a very long wheelbase tandem and are fitting to a rear drum brake operated from a front lever. Other than that the product is like any other brake cable inner, it comes with barrel and pear nipple ends, just cut off the one you don't need and lubricate it well before sliding it through the outer casing. 22 January 2014
