The kit includes a metal boot to protect the outer case after cutting and a crimp cap for braided wire. neat cable. For the hobbyist, the hardest part will be cutting and adjusting the cable.

Also, you need to remove the handlebar grips to install the brake lever, so if you need to brush them up. time to do it.
