FEBI177177 Febi Brake Cable

This cable is basically the link between your brake lever – whether it’s on the handlebar of a bike, or the pedal in a car or truck – and the actual braking mechanism at the wheel. It physically transmits the force you apply when you hit the brakes. It's a pretty simple idea, but absolutely critical. Some cables will have an outer sleeve, called a housing, and inside that is the actual cable wire itself. That housing helps protect the inner cable from dirt, water, and bending. It’s part of the overall braking system, of course. Think of it like the muscles that make the brakes work. When you press the brake, it pulls on this cable, which then activates the calipers or brake shoes to slow down or stop the wheels. It’s a direct, mechanical connection – no fluids or electronics involved in a basic cable – actuated system. On some vehicles, especially older ones, you’ll find it used for the parking brake as well. Well, without a functioning brake cable, you simply can't stop. It’s that straightforward. If the cable stretches, frays, rusts, or gets damaged, it reduces your stopping power and creates a safety hazard. You’ll notice if a cable is starting to go bad – things like a soft or spongy brake feel, or needing to press the brake pedal further than usual to get the same stopping power. A broken cable means no braking on that wheel, obviously. You can often find replacement brake cables at places like Fixparts Online, and it's something a decent DIYer can tackle, but if you’re not comfortable working on brakes, it's definitely best to have a professional take a look. It's just not a place to cut corners because it acts like a shield between you and a potential accident. Buy risk-free: Brake Cable (MPN 177177) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
