Know before you buy
These adjusters allow you to fine-tune your brake cable tension without needing to loosen the anchor bolt at the brake caliper. They are ideal for compensating for cable stretch or making quick adjustments to lever feel while out on a ride.
These are designed for mechanical brake systems that use standard housing. They are most commonly used with mechanical disc brakes or rim brakes where the cable housing can be interrupted to install the adjuster.
Installation requires cutting a small section of your existing brake housing to insert the adjuster in-line. Once the housing is cut, the adjuster threads into the ends of the housing segments to bridge the gap.
Yes, this product is sold as a pair, providing two adjusters—one for your front brake line and one for your rear brake line.
They do not change the inherent power of your brakes, but they improve the responsiveness and consistency of your system. By ensuring your cable tension is perfectly dialed in, you get a more immediate and predictable lever pull.
