Brompton front brake cable for M / P type handlebar

The brake cable replacement packet comprises of:

Cable housing / outer (in two pieces 389mm and 485mm) to join at the cable gatherer.
Brake cable inner (1000mm)

Note: This cable is not suitable for "S" type Bromptons.

Another note: This cable is suitable for both long (1045mm) and short (1015) wheelbase Bromptons - as the distance to the front is the same!

Yet another note: This cable is for use on bicycles where the front brake lever is on the right hand side (as viewed when sitting on the bike) - the British way.

Check out this video from Brompton for information about the correct routing of cables on your bike.
