Know before you buy
Yes, these cables are designed to be compatible with all standard road brake systems. Their 1.6mm diameter is the industry standard for road applications.
No, these cables come pre-stretched from the factory. This means you can achieve optimal braking performance immediately after installation without needing to adjust for initial cable stretch.
The extra-long 2750mm length ensures the cable is versatile enough to fit any road bike frame, including those with unique routing or larger sizes. You will need to trim the cable to your specific bike's requirements during installation.
The cable comes with the necessary end cap to prevent fraying after you cut it to size. Please note that this package contains the inner brake cable only; housing is not included.
The stainless steel construction is inherently rust-proof, which prevents corrosion and ensures the cable remains smooth over time. This material choice significantly reduces friction, leading to a more consistent and reliable braking feel.
