  1. Dear all

    Have had a set of Shimano XTR V brakes for about four years and am still very happy with them on my
    commuting bike. The bike has Pace RC36 forks on with the brake mounts on the back of the fork leg.
    Luckily the brake came with a short cable pipe that had the bend in it at about 35 degrees as
    opposed to the normal longer pipe with the 90 degree bend.

    Anyway changed the cable today for the umpteenth time and the plastic lining of the pipe came out
    with the cable. It is now not lined and not as smooth so I need a new pipe of this type. Does anyone
    know where I might get one or have any idea of the part number for such a pipe?

    Thanks in advance.

  2. you can buy the pipe for all of about $3 at any half decent shop. The brake will not run properly
    without the liner.

    You can buy plastic liner in bulk, like $5 for 30 feet. It won't have that little flange on it but
    I've found you don't need it.
