will the spree speedo cable not fit the elite brake drum? dont you need the spree brake cable too? since you chopped off most of the length of the elite forks the elite cable will be too long :P

They are both short since Elite fork extends a bit more forward so, its 5" short. I have the Elite brake cable but it has a tear and I don't like it. LOL

ohhh i didnt know I better keep the elite cable till i know for sure. I have had to piece this thing together from all over the world :D get some black silcone or something like that and cover the torn place and smooth it out, you will never even know it was damaged as long as water cant get in it and rust up :P
