I was planning to replace the cantilever brake cables on an old Saracen
mtb as part of a much needed service. I bought a shimano cable set
before realising that the existing cables are a lot thicker than the
modern parts. Also, the existing rear brake cable runs with an unbroken
single cable routed inside the top tube.
Do I need to use the same guage cables? Also I'm worried that once I
pull the old rear brake cable outer out of the top tube, I'll never be
able to get a new one in! (The entry holes in the tube are a snug fit.)
Thanks for advice!
