Designed for riders who prioritize consistent stopping power and smooth lever action, this set protects your brake cables from road grime, water, and debris.

FAQs
When should I replace my brake noodle?
You should replace your noodle and overcoat every time you replace your inner brake cables or if you notice the brakes feeling sluggish.
Can I use this with disc brakes?
No, this component is designed specifically for standard linear-pull rim brake systems.
Is the overcoat necessary?
Yes, the overcoat is critical for keeping contaminants out of the cable housing, which prevents corrosion and maintains smooth operation.
Does this set include the inner cable?
No, the set includes the brake noodle and the rubber overcoat (boot) only.
How do I know if it fits my bike?
This component is compatible with standard rim brake systems that utilize the common noodle-style cable guide.
Troubleshooting
Brake lever feels spongy or stiff
Check the noodle for sharp bends or internal debris; replace if the cable does not slide freely.
Overcoat is torn or cracked
The overcoat is a protective wear item; if it is torn, it no longer seals the cable and should be replaced.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents rust and corrosion on inner brake cables
- Improves braking lever response and smoothness
- Easy to install during routine cable changes
- Essential for keeping brakes performing like new
Cons
- Must be replaced alongside cables for best results
- Not compatible with hydraulic or disc brake systems
- Rubber overcoat can degrade over long periods of sun exposure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed while replacing your brake cables. First, thread the inner cable through the noodle, slide the overcoat over the cable, and secure the noodle into the brake arm. Ensure the cable housing is seated properly within the noodle entry point. To care for these parts, avoid using heavy degreasers on the rubber overcoat, as these can dry out the material. A light wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient to remove surface dirt. If the noodle begins to show signs of internal scoring, replace it immediately to avoid cable fraying.
