anyone got a spare brake cable lying around for a hayes G2 (HFX-9) caliper? the one on the gemini is hosed, and if i order one, it won't be in for like a week...

if you have one to spot me, i'll go ahead and order the other one and give that to you when it gets in...

pretty please? i want to ride the shed this weekend!

K -- I can probably lend you a brake on Sunday if you want -- are you sure your hose is hosed? On the older G1s you could just shorten it and re-attach with a new compression olive, and iirc yours is leaking right at the very end. If it's one of those press-fit dealios then I guess you need a whole new one, that's sh*tty though.

you can use a hose and lower fittings from the gen 1 calipers, go and get a new hose and lower fittings, just make sure you leave enough hose for the 90 fitting at the end. A-1 will have everything you need. that way you are not stuck with the pressed fit crap. I had done this on mine and it worked fine...until the crappy bladder blew. hope that helps
