Conradm94 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hey I've seen a few bike with the front brake cable going down through the headset. How do I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) You will need a top-cap which has two holes in it, or you could possibly drill your current one. One hole for removing top-cap, the other for the cable. Remove the front brake cable from either its caliper or lever, which ever is easiest. Then thread the cable through the assembled top-cap/fork/frame/headset and reattach it to the caliper/lever. Then either re-bleed or adjust your cable so the brake works nicely, job done!

AndrewEH1 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The headset shouldn't matter! Do the element fork not come with two hole in its top-cap? The team ones do. Might be a case of phoning Tarty to see if they can get a spare team top-cap for you if you can't drill another hole in your one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
