Also if doing an aftermarket quadrant/firewall adjuster and you are gonna put a new cable (OEM) on you are gonna need the UPR triple hook quad as a new OEM cable will not have enough slack to work with a double hook quad. If however you are gonna install the quad/firewall adjuster and gonna use a broken-in OEM cable it will work fine!

This pretty much sums it up.
It would have been a waste to call customer service. All I would've gotten was an apology and a loss of my time.
The cable broke on my way to school. It completely frayed around the part of the cable that attaches to the fork. And yes...it was properly adjusted. Here's a pic.

That cable does look awful thin over OEM.

We sell between 10,000 and 15,000 cables per year. We usually only see about 3 dozen break per year. Our cables see a 99% success rate when sold to the consumer. That is a very good number (operating at 6 sigma) when it comes out our cables. I am not sure what the OEM success rate is but our cable will compete with their number if not beat it.
In addition, we usually see 2 or 3 break from the same person (this is not referring to anyone on this post, this is just what we have seen on our end). In most cases it is an adjustment issue. What is most common is that the adjustment at the fork is set up in such a way that when the cable is being pulled it will bottom out against the bell housing.
When this happens the system keeps pulling on the cable even though it’s bottomed out. The force being exerted ends up collapsing the cable at the next weakest point which is the outer sheath. The upper half of the sheath where it comes up to the firewall is usually where the cable collapses.
Out of the 36 (3 dozen) or so failures we see per year, well over 30 are this kind of failure, we almost never see the steel cable actually fail.
In a case of a cable failing please call our customer service line so we can determined if this was indeed a malfunction of the cable or if there was an improper set up. We are always looking to help the consumer in any instance that occurs.
