V-Brake Cable Guide
What Is It?
The V-Brake Cable Guide (commonly called a brake noodle) is a curved metal guide tube used in V-brake (linear-pull brake) systems. It directs the brake cable from the cable housing into the brake arm at the correct angle, ensuring smooth cable movement and efficient braking performance.
Most V-brake cable guides include a rubber boot that protects the exposed inner cable from dirt, water, and debris, helping to maintain smooth braking and extend cable life.
Key Features
- Guides the brake cable into the V-brake arm
- Ensures smooth and efficient cable movement

- Compatible with most V-brake and linear-pull brake systems
- Durable steel or aluminium construction
- Includes a rubber boot to protect the inner cable from dirt and moisture
