The Odyssey Linear Quik-Slic Kable makes setting up your new cable a breeze. Not only is it convienent to setup, its also aids in breaking power by preventing flex in the straddle cable caused by bends. Since the Linear Quik-Slike Kable is a fixed position cable it comes in two different sizes to accomodate most frames. However don't worry if neither size fits, or you may have ordered the wrong one because Odyssey includes a handy knarp that lets you trim the housing and cable. Hassle-free installation. No tools required. Improves braking power. Integrated hanger and straddle cable removes bends or twists to reduce flex. Linear K-Shield™ mesh housing offers higher compression rate and lighter weight than standard steel mesh. Specially designed and machined Volcano ferrules prevent premature housing blowout. Velcro strap included Adequate length to comfortably spin the bars all-the-way around once. Requirements A “traditional” lever with a slotted barrel adjuster. A brake with open ended arms (Odyssey, Fly Bikes, Dia-Tech, Bicycle Union, Proper, Superstar, etc.). A brake boss to cable stop distance of 245mm, +10/-20. (measured from the center of the boss to the center of the cable stop). A split cable guide and a split cable stop (which can often be easily modified if they are closed). Quik-Slic Knarps In the rare cases where the Quik-Slic cannot be fitted to your frame, Odyssey also includes a specially designed brake cable knarp that is compatible with virtually every brake lever. This will allow both the Medium and Long cable to be fitted to any frame, regardless of what the cable stop to brake boss distance is. The knarp is designed to provide a very secure hold so that the performance and braking feel of the Quik Slic is maintained while allowing the inner and outer lengths to be adjusted to fit almost any frame. The knarp’s clamp strength matches the strength of a standard cable lug when it is tightened properly.
