Learn how to replace a V-Brake Cable: Easy cable swap in minutes!

If you would like to learn how to replace a v-brake cable then you're in the right place.

I’ll guide you through the entire process, from choosing the right cable to fitting and adjusting it properly. I’ll cover the differences between Galvanized Steel and Stainless Steel brake cables. While Galvanized Steel is more affordable, it’s prone to rust and can seize in the outer casing over time. On the other hand, Stainless Steel offers greater corrosion resistance and glides more smoothly through the casing, making it a better long-term choice.

I’ll show you how to remove the old cable, cut the new casing to the correct length, and install the new cable step-by-step. If you're not sure how to adjust your brakes, I’ve got you covered with an easy guide. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have your V-brakes brakes working like new!
