Product Details

Overview & Technology

Avid Noodle / Overcoat (90°) is a direct-replacement linear-pull (V-brake) noodle and rubber boot designed to restore smooth cable routing and reliable braking performance. The 90° bent steel noodle guides the brake cable from the lever housing into the brake arm with minimal friction, while the rubber overcoat seals the entry point against grit, water and road grime. Constructed from hardened steel and paired with a flexible rubber boot, this OEM-spec part (SRAM Model ID: RB-SPP-A0, Mfr. Part #: 11.5362.100.800) matches original fitment and function for Avid/SRAM linear-pull systems. It’s compact (shipping dims 4" x 4" x 1") and light (0.05 lb), making it an easy and affordable maintenance item to carry or keep in your parts drawer.

Key Features

Robust materials and clean cable path. The noodle is formed from hardened steel to resist bending and wear under cable tension; the smooth internal bore reduces friction for crisper braking feel. The integrated rubber overcoat (boot) keeps contaminants out of the noodle entry, prolonging cable and housing life. Simple, serviceable design: • 90° bend for correct V-brake geometry and clearance • OEM SRAM/Avid compatibility (RB-SPP-A0) • Steel construction with smooth internal surface for low friction • Flexible rubber boot protects against water and mud

Fit & Compatibility

This replacement noodle is intended for linear-pull/V-brake setups used on many mountain, hybrid and cyclocross bikes that use Avid / SRAM hardware. It is a direct fit for brakes and levers that reference SRAM Model ID RB-SPP-A0 or manufacturer part 11.5362.100.800. Before ordering, confirm your bike uses a 90° noodle style (common on V-brakes) and that the brake noodle sits in a housing stop or noodle guide on your frame/fork. If you have cantilever brakes, mini V-brakes or non-standard guides, check dimensions and clearance — this product is optimized for standard linear-pull applications.

Who It's For

Perfect for mountain and commuter riders who maintain their own brakes or need a quick replacement on the trail or at home. If you ride in muddy, wet or winter conditions, the rubber overcoat adds valuable protection to keep cables shifting smoothly. Mechanics, home wrenchers and shop techs will appreciate the OEM fit and reliable construction — a small, inexpensive part that restores braking performance and reduces cable abrasion and contamination over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this noodle fit all V-brakes?

This noodle fits most standard linear-pull (V-brake) systems that use a 90° noodle and accept an OEM-style Avid/SRAM part (RB-SPP-A0). It may not be compatible with some mini V-brakes, cantilevers or custom noodle guides — check your brake model and noodle geometry before purchase.

How do I install the noodle and boot?

Slide the rubber boot over the cable housing end, insert the cable into the steel noodle and seat the noodle in the brake arm guide. Route the cable through the noodle into the brake arm, then set pad alignment and tension. Installation requires basic tools: cable cutters, 5mm hex or appropriate wrench, and possibly new cable/housing if worn.

Does the rubber boot prevent rust?

The boot protects the noodle entry and cable from direct exposure to water and grit, which reduces corrosion risk. It isn’t a complete rust-proofing solution; regular inspection and occasional lubrication or replacement are still recommended for long-term durability.

Can I reuse my old noodle if it’s bent?

A bent or kinked noodle will increase friction and can damage the inner cable over time. Replace any noodle that shows visible deformation, sharpening edges or corrosion. Given the low cost, replacing a compromised noodle is the best way to restore optimal braking performance.

Is this part sold with mounting hardware?

This SKU includes the steel noodle and rubber overcoat only; it does not include additional hardware like cable ends or mounting bolts. If you need a full service kit, look for brake noodle and hardware kits that include ferrules and quick-release parts.

Can this noodle be used on e-bikes or heavy-load bikes?

While the noodle itself is sturdy, e-bikes and heavily loaded bikes can put extra strain on rim brakes. For high-torque, high-mass applications consider ensuring your brake components are rated for the load and replace cables/housings regularly. For most pedal-assist urban e-bikes, the noodle will work but disc brakes are generally recommended for sustained heavy use.

Buying Guide

When replacing a V-brake noodle, match the noodle geometry (90° vs straight) and OEM part ID to your brake arms to ensure correct routing and clearance. Inspect the cable and housing — if housing ends are frayed or cables are rusted, replace them at the same time to get the best braking feel. Choose a noodle with a rubber overcoat for wet and muddy conditions to reduce contamination and extend cable life. Keep a spare noodle and boot in your repair kit for quick trail-side fixes; they’re compact, inexpensive, and can restore safe braking in minutes.
