Product Description

Power Cordz Road Brake System

Road Brake Cordz work flawlessly with all major brands (Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo) of road brakes/levers when used with our new Windsor Clasp. Road Cordz work with all types of brake housing and, for those who use Nokon beaded housing, we have a specially designed Nokon Liner for use with our Cordz.

Now includes 5 & 6mm Windsor clasps to work with all Shimano, SRAM & Campy Systems

The World's lightest brake cord receives our new "In-Line" fiber arrangement. This process reduces friction and increases cord life.

The Road Brake Cordz System integrates perfectly with existing brake systems (Shimano, SRAM, Campy compatible) with little to no modification using our proprietary Windsor (patent pending) brake clasp. We sweat the small details to include everything you need to upgrade your road bicycle properly.

This system incorporates our proven Road Cordz with our lightweight, compressionless Kevlar reinforced housing (you won’t find spec’d on a stock road bike no matter how expensive) and our own sealed, alloy ferrules that resist wear. Our housing liner is pre-lubed with special Teflon grease to withstand water and is formulated to stay put in the housing where it belongs. Our ferrules are made of alloy to prevent bending and housing deformation. They are lined to reduce friction and sealed to keep out the grit. These small details ensure your Cordz operate perfect for years.

EZ-Bend housing segments are included to aid with the tight bends encountered when running housing on drop bars. Plus, they prevent the need to re-wrap your bars in the event you need to make a housing repair or remove your bar(think shipping).

The bottom line - The Power Corz System is far superior to the cheap cables & housing supplied on even the most high-end of road bikes. Think weight savings, durability, and increased control.

Weight: 2.9g/m - An uncut 1.7m brake cord weighs less than 5g(compared to 20g for a steel unit)!
Diameter/Length: 1.7mm x 1.7m - Brake Cordz are compatible with all types of 5mm housing and work best when used with high quality alloy ferrules.

Power Cordz™ are for any bike meant to go fast and break records. Our synthetic fiber control cordz are designed to outperform steel cables in weight, accuracy and durability. In racing, efficiency is essential, each extra gram weighs against you. Power Cordz reduce cable weight by over 75% cutting approx 45-60g from your machine. Not bad considering theyre bicycle cables! Once set up Power Cordz do not stretch or require re-adjustment. Your bike will perform as expected time and again. Our synthetic fiber nylon coated cord material is not steel therefore will not rust or corrode. Go out and get dirty, they can handle it! Power Cordz™ utilize a synthetic fiber called Zylon HM or PBO. Its stronger than steel and twice as strong as Kevlar. PBO is a rigid-rod isotropic crystal polymer that has superior tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Simply stated - Zylon is very stiff and strong, its superior cable material. A slick nylon protective coating encases around 10,000 PBO fibers. The cord is then bonded (using a top-secret patented process) to a high quality anodized anchor. The bond has a breaking strength of over 600lbs which is the same as steel at 25% the weight of steel.
