i don't think it makes any difference to the strain on the cable, i run two lammies with reverse pull set up and sintered pads and do virtually all my braking with the front only.

i've done countless miles over the years without mishap using cables from various trusted dealers but this is a very worrying near miss.

all you can do is check visually before fitting.

It seems like Scoot restorations are sticking their head in the sand on this subject , they haven't attempted to do a recall or anything , I have one of these cables in a drawer somewhere which will deffo be for scrap now
