When you’re upgrading or replacing brake cables, a dedicated pressing plate makes seating the cable end, ferrule, or end cap more precise. This reduces stray cable ends, ensures smoother braking, and minimizes the need for readjustments after installation. It’s especially handy in tight frame sections or when you’re working with older bikes where cable routing isn’t perfectly aligned.
