Brake cable set rear FISCHER 85227 — inner cable length 1700 mm

Brake cable set rear FISCHER 85227 — inner cable length 1700 mm is a replacement inner wire intended for mechanical rear bicycle brake systems. The product supplies the tensile element that transmits rider input from the brake lever to the rear caliper or hub brake, restoring braking control and responsiveness when the original cable is worn, stretched, or damaged.

Advantages

This rear brake cable set provides a precisely cut inner cable with a 1700 mm usable length suitable for many standard bicycle frames. Manufactured to consistent dimensions and surface finish, the inner wire ensures smooth movement inside the outer housing and reduces friction for reliable force transmission. The product is compatible with common mechanical brake designs and is intended for direct replacement during routine maintenance or repair.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or stretched rear brake inner cable on bicycles
• Repair of mechanical rim or hub rear brake systems
• Routine maintenance to restore brake responsiveness and reduce lever travel
• Workshops and home mechanics performing brake cable servicing

Key specifications

• Type: rear brake inner cable for mechanical brake systems
• Inner cable length: 1700 mm
• Material: high-tensile metal wire (steel)
• Surface: smooth, pre-finished for low friction inside housing
• Compatibility: standard bicycle mechanical rear brakes (rim and hub designs)

How to use

Measure and confirm that the 1700 mm inner cable length is suitable for your bicycle frame and routing path. Remove the wheel or loosen cable anchors as required by your brake type, then detach the old inner cable from the lever and brake caliper or hub. Feed the new inner cable through the existing outer housing and cable stops, ensuring proper seating at both ends. Tension the cable at the brake anchor and adjust barrel adjusters or anchor bolts to achieve correct brake pad clearance and lever travel. Trim excess cable and secure the end with a cable end cap to prevent fraying.

Usage recommendations

Inspect outer housing, ferrules and cable stops when replacing the inner cable; replacing worn housing or ferrules together with the inner cable improves braking performance. Apply a light lubricant compatible with brake cables to the inner wire before installation to reduce friction and extend service life. After installation, test brakes at low speed to confirm proper function before normal riding.
