TRP Euro X/ AVID Shorty Ultimate straddle cable
Anyone have a good source for a single ended straddle cable that will work with TRP Euro X or Avid Shorty adjustable cantilever brakes?
I've had some difficulty in finding a direct replacement. Massaging a standard road bike brake cable works, but... |

I usually take a standard road brake cable and reduce the diameter to fit. Using a file lying on a bench horizontally and running the head over it works well. The other method is a bench grinder. A lot of mechanics now are using 1x30" belt sanders for this kind of modifying.

shift cable with a shimano head snugs into the barrel adjuster. its a smaller gauge (weightweenie) but you wont snap it under load while braking.
