Man that's ugly!

Why would anyone ruin a great hydraulic disc brake by actuating the
master cylinder with a bicycle cable?

That is a very good question.

Antares uses a direct mechanical connection from spoiler
pushrod to master-cylinder actuation lever, no Bowden cable.

A Bowden cable is a SPRING, and bicycle-grade is really
silly in these applications (especially 8 foot long with a
Tost "wheel brake").

I believe SH has upgraded new production to use Beringer parts;
hopefully they have stopped doing this on the actuation side...

See ya, Dave "YO electric"



No, still using the bicycle cable with the Beringer system. See the
installation instructions he
