You say brake cables, I presume you actually meant brake pipes?
If you read the road ahead properly you really shouldn't be needing your brakes, mines are original from '98 and nearly 24000 miles on it, with no signs of wear etc but granted, there will be times you will need full power of brakes but remember it hasn't got abs or sod all like it so I'd rather be prepared to stop rather than having to use them full on! As I would think anyone will ride a bike and grab a fistful of brake but forget they actually need to release and press again, and continue doing this, the real term is cadence braking. Most people will wonder why the brakes haven't worked properly but it's probably down to not understanding the actual brake system they have.
