The Problem Solvers Cable Doubler 1:2 is a versatile component designed to extend the functionality of your braking system by allowing a single brake lever to control two brakes simultaneously. Crafted with precision, this device is an excellent solution for riders who require enhanced braking control or customized setups. Whether you're adapting a bike for special needs or optimizing performance on tandem or quadcycles, the Cable Doubler 1:2 ensures reliable and smooth operation. Constructed from low-profile machined aluminum with a hard anodized finish and Teflon coating, this cable doubler offers minimal friction for effortless brake actuation. Its durable, machined end caps and internal slider provide long-lasting reliability. Compatible with various cable-operated brakes—including calipers, cantilevers, V-brakes, drums, and cable disc brakes—this component works seamlessly across both road and mountain biking applications. Installation is straightforward with common bike tools and requires three standard cables and housing. Designed with adaptability in mind, the Cable Doubler 1:2 is ideal for an array of specialized setups, including adaptive bikes for riders using only one hand, tandems requiring dual rear brakes for increased stopping power, cyclocross bikes needing front lever control over both brakes, and quadcycles that demand braking on multiple wheels. Problem Solvers ensures that your bike remains flexible and safe with this innovative accessory. What It’s Good For Allowing one brake lever to operate two brakes simultaneously for enhanced control. Adapting bikes for riders with physical challenges requiring one-handed braking. Improving stopping power on tandems by controlling both rear brakes from one lever. Enabling cyclocross riders to maintain brake control during dynamic movements. Facilitating quadcycle setups where multiple brakes must be controlled efficiently. Compatibility with a wide range of cable-operated brake types and bike styles. Easy installation using common bike tools and standard cables. What It’s NOT Good For Hydraulic brake systems that do not use cable actuation. Setups requiring independent control of each brake lever. Applications where cable routing limits the installation of additional components. Brakes that require electronic or non-mechanical actuation methods. Frequently Asked Questions Can the Cable Doubler 1:2 be used with hydraulic brakes?No, it is designed specifically for cable-operated brakes and is not compatible with hydraulic braking systems. Is the installation process complicated?The installation is straightforward and requires basic bike tools like a cable cutter and a 2mm Allen wrench, along with some light grease and optional zip-ties.
