Perfect Braking

Didn't know you needed to change brake cables. THought you just let some silicon spray slide down into the cable housing. Had a training buddy test ride my bike after new wheels were installed. Let me know my brake cables needed replacement. I usually go to a mechanic to do all my bike maintenance. He said I could do it myself. I bought these and the installation was VERY easy. And now, so is my braking. Looking at doing this to my other bikes soon since it was so easy and I felt such a great improvement.

I still ride with rim brakes, so I replace the cables one per year and this store has what I need to keep my road bike humming along.

Who knows? Shimano knows
by Gary B

I had built a fixxy (single speed) a number of years ago and the brake cables in this moist environment had seen much better days so I needed to do something about it. I chose the Shimano cables because They were stainless steel and from rebuilds that I have done I knew the cable housing was of high quality. I loved that the cables were double ended and could have been used on both types of brake calipers that I was considering. The only issue I had was cutting the cable housing which I ended up doing with electrical wire cutters so that I would not damage the ends and after the cut taking a small piece of wire to clean out any plastic residue from the ends worked great. All in all a wonderful product at a good price.

Good value - great upgrade for older bike rebuild!

These helped bring a free 1981 Schwinn Sports Tourer back from the dead. The brakes are smooth enough to ride and stop from the hoods! Score!

no issues replacing old ones

Better to have a good cable cutters avoiding issues once you select the end to cut. Avoid unthread the cable at the cut end this will cause issues at installation.

What more can I say? These are brake cables. They work. Good quality. All the goodies you need in one package. Cheaper than if you went into a bike shop and they cut you pieces of cable and housing.

One of the most basic components. I probably should have replaced them sooner. There is a noticable difference in the ease of braking.
