Odyssey Quick Slic-Kable Brake Cable

This cable is specifically designed for BMX setups. While the diameter is standard, the linear housing construction is optimized for the specific cable routing and braking needs of BMX bikes, rather than the internal routing or specific pull ratios found on road or mountain bikes.

The Teflon lining significantly reduces friction between the inner cable and the housing. This results in a smoother lever pull and more consistent braking performance, especially when your handlebars are turned or the cable has tight bends.

Yes, both the housing and the inner cable are designed to be trimmed to your required length. You will need a proper cable cutter to ensure a clean cut that doesn't fray the steel wire or crush the housing.

Yes, this package includes both the inner brake cable and the outer housing. You will just need to ensure you have the necessary tools—like cable cutters and pliers—to complete the installation.

Linear housing uses strands of steel that run parallel to the cable rather than spiraling around it. This prevents the housing from compressing when you pull the brake lever, which creates a much stiffer, more responsive feel at the lever.
