Pros & Cons
Pros
Complete kit to fix a road bike or regular bike brake setup. Kit has everything needed to fix up your bike cabling. Process is straightforward and hassle-free.
The kit comes with 8 cable crimps. Two different size sheath are shipped with the product. Had plenty for my ol man's schwinn from the 70's.
The blue brake cables look fantastic and add a nice color to my bike. The variety of color sizes is another reason to purchase this product. They look great she loves the new color.
Cons
Inner liner kinks so what should be a smooth bending transition becomes a hard corner. Rear brake and rear derailleur cables are too short by 6 inches, which makes this kit worthless.
This makes it more likely that a cable will pinch or crimp in normal operation. It also increases friction between the cable and housing which degrades brake performance. Do not buy these cables. They are a total waste and deceptive.
Highlights
Quality
They are durable and provide smooth, reliable performance.
Constructed with durable materials, it exuded durability and reliability, which are crucial aspects when it comes to bike components.

Two of the wire rope cables have different end sizes for different use, as a brake or shift cable.
Price
It was a very good deal for the money so not a real problem, and they installed easily enough.
Very happy and the price works for me!
Be sure and use a cutter designed for steel cable, available from amazon for under $15.
And cost a fraction of what some other cables cost!
Shipping
Two different size sheaths are shipped with the product kit.
Packaging/appearance
First and foremost, the quality of the cable impressed me from the moment i unpacked it.

Just smash the ball on the transmission line to direct fit

No issues with the main cables or covers but the ferrule ends are a lot thinner than the stock ones so i worry they will rust out and fall off pretty quickly

I just assembled a stealth bomber frame w1500w rear hub motor 1000w front hub and the brake cable housing was no where near long enough to do the whole bike

In fact this set would normally do both front and rear derailleurs i only have rear on this ebike but with this longer frame and no exposed inner cables the entire rear derailleur run took the entire length with no waste at all

The brake cable housing came up about 2 feet short of doing the front brake cable

I had to order more red housing for this particular ebike
