The Mission straddle cable is the small part that connects your brake arms, and it's worth replacing when the old one starts to fray or you're setting up a fresh U brake. Nothing complicated here: it does its job, keeps your brake pulling evenly, and the black finish blends in with most setups. A handy spare to keep in the toolbox.
