Nitto Rear Cable Hanger AS-2

The AS-2 is designed specifically for cantilever braking systems. It acts as the anchor point for your rear brake cable, ensuring the cable is positioned correctly to provide the leverage needed for responsive, reliable stopping power.

This hanger features a 38mm drop from the loop to the cable stop. It is compatible with most standard cantilever setups, but you should measure your current hanger or check your frame's geometry to ensure a 38mm drop provides the correct cable tension and clearance for your specific brakes.

Yes. Because it is forged from steel rather than cast, it is exceptionally strong and resistant to the stress of repeated braking. The chrome plating also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for daily use in various weather conditions.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only standard hex keys or wrenches, depending on your bike's existing brake hardware. It mounts directly to the seat post bolt or brake bridge, depending on your frame configuration.

The Nitto AS-2 offers a classic aesthetic and superior durability compared to many modern aluminum alternatives. Its forged steel construction is less prone to flexing under heavy braking loads, which helps maintain a more consistent and firm feel at the brake lever.
