New cables
« on: November 01, 2016, 13:40:58 »
Just got my rox up and back bar risers.
They are the 2" ones, so have a feeling I will need to replace cables.

What length cables am I going to be looking For?
Any suggestions on where to get some.

Thanks

You'll need some 2" longer than the ones you've got now :)

Joking aside I managed to make the existing cables reach, but the brake pipe is quite taught. I think mine were 30mm Rox. I wouldn't mind replacing my cables and pipe just for peace of mind.
