Or, If you ain't quite that tight, they are called "Brake Noodles" and they
cost about $3 each at your local bike shop. Nice new lined brake housing in
a selection of colours runs a couple bucks a foot. Add a $6 mountain bike
brake cable and you have a setup that works far better than any of the
usual suspects will sell you ad at a significant savings. Kinda ironic to
ise a cable intended to slow down a bicycle to make your Spridget speed
up...
