Brake Cable Housing Clarks 2P with Teflon 5 mm—30 m, white

Clarks 2P brake cable housing with Teflon lining is a 30 metre coil of 5 mm inner diameter housing in white, intended for bicycle brake systems. The Teflon-coated inner surface reduces friction between cable and housing, promoting smoother lever action and reducing wear on the inner cable. This housing is suitable for repairs, maintenance or full replacement on a range of bicycles including road, city and children's models where a 5 mm brake housing is required.

Advantages

The Teflon-lined interior minimizes friction and improves cable glide for more consistent braking feel. A 5 mm inner diameter is compatible with standard brake cables used on many bicycles, and the 30 m length provides enough material for multiple repairs or for shop use. The white outer sheath offers a clean visual match for frames and can be cut to the precise length needed for individual installations.

Suitable for

• Repairing or replacing brake housing on road and city bicycles
• Maintenance and refurbishment of children’s bikes
• Bike workshops and home mechanics needing a bulk spool for multiple builds

When it may not be suitable

This 5 mm housing is designed for conventional mechanical brake cables; it is not compatible with hydraulic brake systems or cable types that require a different internal diameter. For bikes with integrated or proprietary routing features, additional fittings or ferrules may be required to ensure correct installation and sealing.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 5 mm
• Length: 30 m (coil)
• Inner lining: Teflon-coated for reduced friction
• Outer colour: White
• Intended use: Mechanical bicycle brake systems

How to use

Measure the required length on the bicycle, allowing for routing curves and stops, and cut the housing cleanly with a suitable cable housing cutter to avoid crushing. Fit appropriate ferrules on each end and route the housing along the frame, ensuring smooth bends and avoiding sharp kinks. Insert the inner brake cable through the Teflon-lined housing and attach to brake levers and calipers, then adjust tension and test brake operation. If necessary, repeat lubrication or replace inner cables to achieve optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 5 mm inner diameter is correct for the bicycle’s brake cable system
• Check routing and required length to ensure 30 m coil covers your needs or multiple repairs
• Ensure compatibility with any end ferrules, liners or stops used on the bicycle

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Teflon-lined housing with a clean, well-lubricated inner cable and use proper cutters and ferrules when trimming. Avoid tight bends and replace housing if the outer sheath is damaged to maintain reliable braking performance.
