Hi ,
whats the best brake cable to run tight angles .Ive got a Madone 2013 5.9 with Di2 which seems to be set up for American levers positions so that the outer cable from the bars to internal downtube runs a very tight angle
Can anyone recommend a good cable
Cheers Dave

    FTFY ;)

    Any good quality standard brake housing and stainless cable will be suitable. Just make sure you place some copter tape on the frame where the housing rubs on it.

    For tight cable runs, use Nokons. If you run the rear from the right lever and then around the left side of the headtube then you'll minimise cable-rub problems.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
