The grip end does not have a threaded end on the elbow,it just sits in it, and I find it is just about 3 inches shorter than I would like it to be. Works well riding,just parked I must make sure to turn my wheel to the right to avoid pulling on it. I am going to hunt for a longer one.It was only 8 dollars for this one, so worth the use.Surprisingly my modification cable end seems to be in great shape,and I am going to carry it with me until I find/get a longer cable. I just feel sketchy about using it,the cable end basically just squishes the cable between two screw ends after you thread it through a small hole in the center. I think if I work out a few bugs on another one,it would be way better,and maybe I will do that. But I would rather find a longer cable,with an elbow that actually screws in like the one that comes on the bike.
