BOX TWO LINEAR BRAKE CABLE KIT Product Overview The Box Two Linear Brake Cable Kit is a complete brake cable and housing set designed for BMX rim brakes. Featuring linear (non-coiled) housing with stainless steel mesh wrapping and a stainless steel inner cable wire, this kit provides responsive braking with minimal cable compression. Includes all necessary components for a complete front or rear brake cable installation. Key Features Linear housing construction – Non-coiled linear wire strands wrapped in stainless steel mesh reduce housing compression under braking force, improving brake feel and power Stainless steel inner cable – Corrosion-resistant stainless steel cable wire resists rust and maintains smooth operation over time 63 inches of housing – Generous housing length accommodates most BMX frame and handlebar configurations with room for cutting to fit Complete hardware included – Kit includes brass ferrules for housing ends and alloy cable end caps to prevent cable fraying BMX race-specific design – Optimized for the braking demands and cable routing of BMX racing bikes Technical Specifications Housing type: Linear (non-coiled) with stainless steel mesh wrap Inner cable material: Stainless steel Housing length: 63 inches Kit contents: Linear brake housing (63 inches) Stainless steel brake cable wire Two (2) brass ferrules (black) Two (2) alloy cable end caps (black) Weight: 24g (0.84 oz) Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases This cable kit fits all BMX rim brakes including V-brakes, caliper brakes, and U-brakes. The linear housing design is compatible with standard brake lever and caliper cable stops and adjusters. Not designed for disc brakes, which use hydraulic lines or different cable routing. Verify your brake system uses cable-actuated rim brakes before ordering. Best suited for BMX riders using rim brakes who want maximum braking performance and responsive lever feel. Linear housing compresses less than traditional coil-wound housing under braking force, translating more of your hand's lever pull into actual brake pad movement—this results in stronger, more controlled braking with better modulation. The stainless steel construction throughout resists corrosion from rain, mud, and sweat, maintaining smooth cable action over time. Ideal for racing applications where brake performance and consistency matter, or for riders in wet climates where rust is a concern. The 63-inch housing length provides enough material to route cables on most BMX frames—measure your required cable routing length and cut housing to fit, ensuring ferrules are installed on both cut ends. Important: When cutting linear housing, use proper cable cutters to achieve a clean cut—crushing the housing with dull cutters will restrict cable movement. Install ferrules immediately after cutting to prevent housing end fraying. Apply cable lubricant or grease to the inner cable before installation to reduce friction and extend cable life. Replace cables when fraying, kinking, or rust is visible, or when braking performance degrades. **Due to unique nature of this item, ALL sales of this product are FINAL. No Refunds or Returns**
