These minor items are so cheap we don't charge for a few of them. If you want a large quantity, you can buy them by the bottle.
Ferrules 5 mm
Ferrules help keep the cut housing end aligned with its stop hardware, helping reduce cable friction.They are essential for index housing to keep it from fraying.
A few? Free.
Bottle of 200 $21.95
CA4080
Crimps
Crimps-squish these onto the cut ends of your cables to prevent fraying/unraveling of the cable.A few? Free.
Bottle of 500 $17.95
CA4104
Donuts
Rubber donuts slide onto your cables where they run bare, especially along the top tube. The donuts keep the bare cables from rattling against the frame, and also protect the paint from abrasion. A few? Free.
Bottle of 600 $37.95

CAH31 "Mickey" Barrel Adjuster Conversion Kit $3.95 Each
This unit is intended to fit into a top-tube cable stop and provides a fingertip adjustment for your rear brake. This is very desirable on drop-bar conversions of bicycles originally built for upright bars (upright-bar brake levers usually incorporate a barrel adjuster, while drop-bar levers do not.)
CAH32 In-Line Cable Adjusters $9.95/pair
Cut your cable housing anywhere and install a barrel adjuster wherever you find it convenient.
NEW! CAH59 Fork Crown Housing Stop $14.95 Each
This unit allows you to use traditional cantilevers or center-pull cantilevers without a housing stop on the headset. It is designed to bolt onto the front of the fork crown. This can solve a number of problems, and can improve cable routing by letting the cable get around even a low handlebar stem without a sharp kink.This is not intended for use with suspension forks. It may be possible to make it work with some suspension forks by mounting it on the upside-down "U" bridge that connects the legs, but it must not be mounted on the fork crown of a suspsension fork as it will cause unpredictable brake application as the fork responds to bumps.
Problem Solvers Travel Agents
These clever stepped pulleys double the cable travel, permitting traditional the use of direct pull ("V type") brakes with traditional short pull brake levers, including Campagnolo Ergo and Shimano STI brifters.
With Adjusting Barrel $27.95
BR0400No Adjusting Barrel $23.95
BR0300
Inline Travel Agent $24.95
This is a good choice for using traditional brake levers with mechanical disc brakes or drum brakes. May also be useful for some gear shifting applications.Hardware for Traditional Cantilevers and Center-pull Calipers.
BRH27 Dimension Front Housing Stop $5.95
Headset-mount front cable hanger (housing stop) for tradtitional cantilevers and centerpull caliper brakes.
Mounts on 1" threaded fork steerers. Can also be easily modified to fit 1" threadless fork steerers by filing off the little tab in the hole.
Includes adjusting barrel.
Steel, black only.
BR9999 Surly Long Rear Housing Stop $10.95
Seatpost-bolt mount rear cable hanger (housing stop) for tradtitional cantilevers and centerpull caliper brakes.
This housing stop loops over the seatpost bolt between the "ears" of the seat lug/seatpost clamp.
Includes adjusting barrel.
This is rather long (76.5mm), which is good news and bad news:
Stainless Steel with aluminum adjusting barrel.
- Good News: improved cable routing for smoother brake operation.
- Bad News: For smaller frames, there may not be sufficient clearance between the seatpost bolt and the cable yoke.
BRH29 Dimension Rear Housing Stop $5.95
Seatpost-bolt mount rear cable hanger (housing stop) for tradtitional cantilevers and centerpull caliper brakes.
Mounts on seatpost bolts up to 6 mm in diameter. If your seatpost bolt is thicker, you'll need to drill or ream the hole out larger.
The tab that goes onto the seatpost bolt is 3 mm thick, make sure there's room to fit it between the "ears" on your bike.
No provision for an adjusting barrel. Adjustment screw on the bottom is primarily to adjust the angle for smooth cable routing.
Aluminum
Tektro Deluxe Yokes $6.95
These premium quality cable yokes are a great choice for traditional cantilever and centerpull caliper brakes. The two small grub screws let you secure the transverse cable so it won't slide. This helps keep the brakes centered.Sold individually. Each comes with a single-ended, braided transverse cable, 2.5 mm Allen wrench for the grub screws and a cable crimp.
The Phillips head screw on the back side is for securing the excess brake cable.
Silver BRH05 $6.95
Black BRH06 $6.95
Salsa Wide Yokes BRH02 $11.95
When you use cantilever brakes with drop-bar levers, particularly in the rear on small-framed bicycles, you sometimes wind up with too much mechanical advantage. This special yoke is designed to increase the yoke angle so you won't run out of lever travel.
See my articles on Cantilever Geometry and Cantilever Adjustment for details.
BRH19 Odyssey Cable Knarps $5.95/pair
These bolt-on cable ends can solve a number of problems. They're primarily intended to fit into upright-handlebar brake levers.
We mainly feature them for replacement of old-style Raleigh double-ended brake cables.
Allen wrench shown included. Dime $.10 extra.
