Hey guys, thought I would share a potentially helpful tip on fixing your rear brake on your tri bike. For mechanical brakes, the rear brake often times feels spongy and less responsive due to the long cable as well as the multiple tight bends (especially through the tri base bare). As some of you may know from episode 181, my background is in freestyle bmx. We used to put these odyssey linear slic cables (pic attached) on the bmx bikes. It would allow you to do barspins and tailwhips without the brakes binding up on you…Long story short, it works well on tri bikes. Enjoy!
