Cables and Cable Housing

Cables and housing are one of the most over- looked parts on the bicycle. The first indication that your cables and housing need to be replaced is an increased amount of pressure needed to operate the brakes or shifters. Before every ride, check that there are no kinks or frays in the cables and housing. Also check that the housing is seated properly into each cable stop of the bicycle. It is recommended

that the cables and housing are replaced at least every riding season to prolong the life of your bike.

Do not ride a bicycle that is not operating properly.
