Pros & Cons

Update Pros and 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.

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.

    The instructions were a poor translation from chinese to english

    Just smash the ball on the transmission line to direct fit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to order more red housing for this particular ebike
