Brake Cable Is Frayed at Nate Davidson blog

Brake Cable Is Frayed. It means your brake may not deliver well, which causes you to lose control. But if it's particularly mangled, you'll need some more force to tame the strands back into position. What occasionally works is to twist the frayed end, obviously following the natural wire winding, that reduces the fray. While it’s a little tricky, there’s no need to rush to a bike mechanic if your cable is past its prime. The frayed ends of a brake cable can be sharp, eventually fray more, and simply just look tacky. If this happens on a brand new cable, you can probably wind it back with your fingers. Replacing the brake cable is a key aspect of routine bicycle maintenance. This works particularly well on cables. Inspect the inner cable and outer housing regularly, and replace them once a year or when they’re frayed, worn, or rusty. One of the most common problems that you can face with brakes is broken and bent bike cables. You need a pair of pliers and some dexterity, and your problems are solved. Sometimes you can save them and tidy up a bit. The thing is they still work just fine so it's best to tighten up this blemish. You can unfray some cables by twisting them from the base and working your way back up. This is an effective way to end the frustration of annoying frayed ends of the throttle and brake cable.
