FAQs
What tools do I need?
You'll need a hex key or Allen wrench set to remove the old noodle and install the new one. You might also need pliers or cable cutters for adjustment.
Is this noodle compatible with all rim brakes?
No, it is designed for Avid rim brake systems. Check your brake system's specifications to ensure compatibility.
How often should I replace the noodle?
Inspect the noodle regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace it if necessary.
Can I use this noodle on both front and rear brakes?
Yes, as long as your brake system uses the same type of noodle.
How do I adjust the cable tension?
Use the barrel adjuster on your brake lever or caliper. Turning it clockwise increases tension, and counter-clockwise decreases it.
What is the overcoat made of?
The overcoat is typically made of a durable, weather-resistant material designed to protect the brake cable.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy after installation.
Check and adjust the brake cable tension. Ensure the cable is properly seated and the brake pads are aligned correctly.
