Looking for a brake cable
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:32:00 am »
Looking for a WR 86/87 back brake cable.
The 85 is no good as it is longer , I have one but don't want to chop it.
Cheers Mike

Mike,
I have NOS rear cables 26 3/4" (680 mm) long. Not sure what year these are for.

Ta Steve.
86/87 = 22" from centre of lever pin hole to end of adjustment thread .
85 = 24.5 " from same spots.
