Shimano Linear Pull Brake Noodle 90 Degrees Info
The Shimano Linear Pull Brake Noodle 90 Degrees is the curved metal tube that guides brake cable housing around the bend on V-brake (linear pull) systems. It's a small part that does a critical job — without it, bare cable would make a sharp, unguided turn from the housing into the brake arm, creating friction, accelerating cable wear, and degrading lever feel. The 90-degree angle is the standard bend for most V-brake installations, making this the go-to replacement for the vast majority of bikes running linear pull brakes.
Constructed from aluminum and Teflon-lined for smooth, low-friction cable movement, this Shimano noodle (part number ASMVBRKL) comes pre-greased and ready to install. The Teflon lining reduces drag through the bend, which translates directly to a more consistent, responsive feel at the lever. It accepts standard 5mm brake cable housing and fits any V-brake setup calling for the 90-degree version. Shimano also offers a 135-degree variant for tighter routing situations where a more gradual bend is needed.
