Snafu Astroglide Brake Cables

Standard brake housing can compress slightly when you squeeze the lever, which creates a spongy or 'mushy' sensation. The zero-compression design prevents this, ensuring that all the force from your hand is transferred directly to the brake calipers for a much snappier, more responsive feel.

The dual cable routing splits the force from a single lever into two lines, which significantly increases stopping power and provides a more consistent, responsive feel at the lever. It is a performance upgrade for riders who find standard single-cable setups lacking in bite.

Yes, this is designed specifically for BMX gyro setups. It is compatible with the London Mod system and replaces traditional lower gyro cables to improve your overall braking performance.

This kit is specifically designed for BMX bikes using a London Mod or similar gyro-style lower cable routing. It is not intended for standard linear or single-cable brake systems.

By splitting the pull from a single lever into two cables, the system distributes force more evenly across the brake calipers. This setup reduces friction and cable drag, allowing for more consistent and powerful stopping power compared to a single-cable configuration.

Standard housing can compress slightly when you squeeze the lever, which creates a 'mushy' or spongy feeling. Zero-compression housing maintains its shape under pressure, ensuring that all your lever input goes directly to the brake calipers for a firmer, more immediate stop.

The kit includes the dual cable adapter and barrel adjusters, which are the essential components for the setup. As long as you have a compatible gyro system and standard brake calipers, you should have everything you need to get it running.

The Astroglide liner is a specialized low-friction coating inside the housing that allows the inner wire to slide with minimal resistance. This results in a smoother lever pull and prevents the cable from binding, even when your handlebars are rotated.

The kit is comprehensive and includes the dual cable adapter and barrel adjusters needed for tension management. As long as you have a compatible gyro setup and standard brake calipers, you should have everything required for installation.

The Astroglide liner is a low-friction coating that helps the inner wire slide smoothly without needing constant lubrication. While it reduces the frequency of maintenance, you should still keep an eye on cable tension and check for signs of wear periodically.
