Just a quick one - does SRAM use a smaller brake cable than Shimano ?
new Shimano inners and outers fitted to new Rival shifters on previously perfect Shimano brakes - brakes are now sticking with all the symptoms you get when cables are clogged and ganky.
Thank you

I think SRAM cable is 1.6mm dia. cable but not sure what dia. Shimano cable is. If you're using new inner cable and outer I would have though you'd have been alright though, just can't mix and match between the two.Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0

Previous SRAM shifters have used the same diameter Shimano inners. I'm not aware of any change.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

Turns out that SRAM is thinner - Shimano will fit through but won't flow freely leading to sticky lever syndrome.
Many thanks for replies - much appreciated.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

My workshop, my bike, my cables, my hands.
So first hand.
Force 22 may we'll be different from 2 year old Rival 10, so please don't be cross with me.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Ha ha, not cross, just making sure I hadn't missed something. I use Shimano inners on the 2010 10 speed Force on the other bike too.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0 -

No problem
I think it's just one of those random things that happens- Shimano outers but SRAM inners combo seems to work perfect. Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
