Jagwire Universal Sport DIY Bike Cable Kit - Perfect for At-Home Bike Maintenance and Repair

Jay ChamblissJay Chambliss: I was one of those guys who assumed any ole brake cable kit would suffice, and that might be true, but why just suffice when you can do it right? This kit makes everything simple and the materials seem just a bit more quality than the generic cable I purchased at my LBS. Don't be like me. Do it right the first time with this kit!

Amazon Customer: I have used Jagwire multiple times and so far it has been a reliable product. My last brake wire lasted 5 years and over 3000 miles. Happy to change it and it felt smoother immediately

b.s. kay: Solid cables for dusty/sandy conditions if you’re using a mechanical brake setup.

I.T. Guy: It would be better if Jagwire was kind enough to actually CARE and send me a black housing I paid for. Instead, they sent me a gray cable, with a sticky label saying "Black" covering the original description "Gray" on the packaging.

Jagwire, just because you covered the sticker "Gray" with the one saying "Black", did not actually made the housing black. That is not how you change the colors.

This was the first time I replaced the brake cables. The kit had everything I needed (the bike was a regular sports store bought Ironhorse Urban hybrid bike).

I did not buy any cable or housing cutters, because I found on YT a better method for those who have a dremel with a cut off disc, which I have.

I simply
- marked the cut line with a blue marker,
- inserted the new cable into the housing about half an inch past the cut line
- started a thin stream of cold water onto the cable so that there is no melting
- then carefully cut off the cable with the cut-off disc
- then finished the cut flat with the flat side of the disc
- pulled out the cable and shot a silicone lubricant spray down the cable to lube and to remove any possible metal dust from...

Mr. P. D. Stoker: Really impressed, a completely different feel to my brakes since fitting these. Comes with lots of quality fittings. Should have upgraded my commuter bike breaks with these a long time ago. Highly recommended

Bob l'aggiustatutto: Arrivato puntuale, l’ho preso al posto del classico Shimano perché sulle bici pieghevoli non tende a pizzicarsi e poi sono quelli che monta di serie la Brompton.

Tilman: Das Set enthält alles was man braucht, um eine Bremsanlage mit klassischen Zügen zu warten. Die zwei Züge sind lang genug und haben unterschiedliche Enden für verschiedene Bremssysteme. Die Bowde kommt am Stück und kann leicht auf die richtigen Längen zugeschnitten werden. Zubehör in Form von Endkappen, Abstandsgummis, Kabelklammern und Aufkleber ist auch dabei. Die Züge laufen leicht. Qualität passt.

Carlo Zustovi: Servizio di consegna ineccepibile.
Il prodotto mipare di buona qualità. Nessun problema di montaggio, nella confezione sono presenti tutte le parti che possono essere necessarie per il montaggio.
Ho apprezzato la realizzazione in alluminio per i terminali delle guaine. Altre aziende li producono in plastica, dopo un po' si possono rompere con maggior facilità.
Consigliabile.

Silvio C.: kit comprato per il restauro di una bici...ottimi materiali della guaina, buona l'idea dei due terminali diversi in funzione dei modelli di freni. Tanti accessori inclusi per completare praticamente qualsiasi tipo di bici.

DLS: My application is a 1990 Trek 720 Multi-Track (that had original brake and saddle cables). The Jagwire cable is noticeably thinner than the (29-year old) galvanized cables I replaced (reason enough to replace the sheath, too). The Jagwire cables seem to be ferritic stainless (higher iron content - like bar-b-q tools and outdoor grills), so they are magnetic and will eventually discolor/rust, just not nearly as quickly or as bad as galvanized coated carbon steel cable. The cables are double-ended, so they will certainly need to be cut. NOTE: Side-cut pliers or a cold chisel that you may have used successfully on galvanized cable will not work well in this application! Make sure you have a sharp set of cable cutters capable of cutting stainless cable and you should have minimal problem. Also be sure to round out the end of the sheath you cut so the cable inside will not rub.

I cannot speak to any effect of the outer sheath's construction because much of both cable runs are in the open (my front cable actually drops through the handlebars) ... I only have a few inches of sheath at the handlebars. I found the product to be exactly as advertised and just test driving they seem...
