Need help to install in-line brake levers on my road bike!?

I have asked this particular question before, but all sub questions were never answered........

Will I need anything else besides the in-line brake levers and tools to do this?

Will I need extra brake cable to do this? (extra lengths of cable for the actual installation)

Besides cable cutters, what is a good tool to cut brake cable?

Any GOOD instructions or instructional videos out there that go thru the WHOLE process of installation??

.........Thanks for answering ALL of these questions!!!

    Go to the local bike shop and have them do it. If you are not smart enough to do it from the instructions I gave you the last time you need help.

    Need help to install in-line brake levers on my road bike!?

    ==why do that?

    I have asked this particular question before, but all sub questions were never answered........

    =]=because

    a. normal people never do this and

    b. it;s not that different from just installing brakes

    Will I need anything else besides the in-line brake levers and tools to do this?

    ==not really

    common sense

    general mech ability

    Will I need extra brake cable to do this? (extra lengths of cable for the actual installation)

    sure

    Besides cable cutters, what is a good tool to cut brake cable?

    ==nothing, you need the right tool

    Any GOOD instructions or instructional videos out there that go thru the WHOLE process of installation??

    ==no

    it;s too specialized and too close to normal brake installation

    plus it may not work with a road bike, not sure really

    like, where would the other levers go?

    here is a tip

    go to a bike store and look at a cyclocross bike and see what they do

    that is about all the ''advice'' you will get

    it;s like asking ''how do i install a sidecar?''

    not enough people do that to make a video
