Part #81163
We have two in stock.
Here's the Travel Agent explanation from Park Tool: "The Travel Agent is a brake cable pulley system that increases the amount of cable pull. The cable is routed around an inner pulley, and then is routed to a larger outer pulley. As the inner pulley rotates, the outer puller will travel around a greater circumference and this increases the linear distance of cable pull. While this system increases the amount (distance) of cable pull, it does not increase the total amount of work done on the cable to stop the bike.
"The hand brake levers are of course operated by pulling the lever with the fingers. This moves the brake cable end, and the cable then moves some distance and with some amount of force according to the design of the lever. A lever designed to pull relatively large amounts of cable does so by sacrificing pulling force. This is because there is a trade-off between cable pulling force and cable travel."
