Re: hood latch

Unbolt the latch from the core support, pop the hood open, install hood pins, never have to worry about the cable again

Re: hood latch

Hood pins seems the easiest and never have to worry about the damn cable snapping again.

Re: hood latch

If you think drilling holes in your hood is a good idea, go at it, still a gay idea.

Re: hood latch

Just get a long cable for a 10-speed bike (just use the inner) & a barrel type cable stop. There....it's fixed for about $3.



And no donk holes in your hood!!
