• Cable Specifications: 2000mm length x 1.5mm diameter. Designed to be cut to size for front or rear application.
• Durable Construction: Inner cables are constructed from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant steel strands for strength and longevity.
• High-Performance Housing: 5mm diameter housing features a low-friction polymer liner to ensure smooth, responsive braking action.
• Universal Nipple End: Equipped with a standard barrel end for mountain bike (MTB) and flat-bar style brake levers.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Provides a universal replacement for standard mechanical brake cable and housing systems on most major bicycle brands.
• Serves as a direct-fit alternative to generic or OEM replacement kits such as Shimano, SRAM, and other standard brake systems.
• Suitable for upgrading or replacing original equipment cables on a wide variety of bicycles.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Bike Types: Designed for Mountain Bikes (MTB), Trail Bikes, Cruisers, City Bikes, and other bicycles using flat-bar or upright handlebars.
• Brake Systems: Compatible with mechanical brake systems, including V-brakes, cantilever brakes, caliper brakes, and mechanical disc brakes.
• Lever Type: Fits standard MTB-style brake levers that require a barrel-shaped cable end nipple. Not compatible with road bike brake levers requiring a pear-shaped nipple.
• Cut-to-Fit Design: Both the inner cable and the outer housing are provided in long lengths to be cut for a precise fit on various frame sizes and handlebar configurations.

When to Replace

• Braking performance is diminished, spongy, or inconsistent.
• Inner cable shows signs of fraying, corrosion, or kinks.
• Brake lever action feels stiff, gritty, or does not return smoothly.
• Outer housing is cracked, compressed, or bent at sharp angles.
• Regular maintenance interval, typically every 1-2 years depending on use and riding conditions.

Installation Tips

• Use a dedicated cable and housing cutter to ensure a clean, square cut. A poor cut can cause friction and fraying.
• Ensure ferrules are installed on each end of a cut housing section before inserting the cable.
• Measure the new housing against the old housing segments to achieve the correct lengths for your frame.
• After installation, pull the brake lever firmly multiple times to bed in the housing and pre-stretch the cable, then re-adjust tension at the caliper and barrel adjuster.
• Always install a cable end cap and crimp it securely to prevent the cut cable from unraveling.
