I got exact size brake cables for my bike. Just make sure that you measure the exact size of your brake cables before making purchase Review: Perfect Replacement Brake Cable Kit - This is a perfect OEM replacement brake cable kit that has everything you need to replace the brake cables on your bicycle for a nice, refreshing change to overused and old brake cables. You won’t realize how good new cables perform over old cables until you install these and try them out. If you’re losing power in your brake levers, changing the cables is one of the best things you can do. Cables, over time, stretch and lose their stiffness and power, creating mushy-feeling brake levers. These Shimano cables are the OEM replacements for any Shimano brake kits (and will work with others). I used to work at a bike shop growing up and wouldn’t trust my brake cables with anyone other than Shimano, especially if your brake kit is a Shimano brake kit. Even with different brake kits, these cables work top-notch as they’re built with quality since Shimano has been producing bike parts for decades. The cables are setup perfectly. There is a cable housing piece that is way more than you’ll need to replace all of the brake cables housing on your bike. There are also cable housing ends to ensure the ends of the housing is stiff at the ends for better braking power. The kit includes two brake cables (one short and one long) for replacing both the front and rear brake cables. The kit also includes the cable ends you crimp on in order to keep the ends of your brake cables from fraying. Perfect kit for the cost. ## Features - Universal Set: Fits either mountain bikes or road bikes - Stainless steel inner wires provide smooth movement and higher corrosion resistance - 1 x Black Cable Housing with 5 mm (2200 mm long) - 2 x Steel cables with 1,6 mm (1 x 1000 mm long) & (1 x 2050 mm long) - 4 x Ferrule s & 2 x Cable tips ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0050LUBZ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #132,916 in Sports, Fitness & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports, Fitness & Outdoors ) #96 in Cycling Cables | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,480 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228603004 | | Item Type Name | Sports Other | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Nominal Wall Thickness | 2.5 millimeters | | UPC | 689228603004 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Colour:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00689228603004 - **Item Weight:** 45 g - **Manufacturer:** Shimano - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Nominal Wall Thickness:** 2.5 millimeters - **UPC:** 689228603004 ## Images ![Shimano Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, for MTB or Road Bikes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kHoxFuYWL.jpg) ![Shimano Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, for MTB or Road Bikes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719SctwmbmL.jpg) ![Shimano Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, for MTB or Road Bikes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SZYqP+VlL.jpg) ![Shimano Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, for MTB or Road Bikes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51s78+KHP6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this one cable or 2 cables? Will I be able to wire up both my left and right brakes or just one?** A: This set consists of two "universal" cables and two cable housings. By "universal", each cable has a separate lead "plug" at each end. One of the plugs will fit brakes used on flat bars; the other will fit brakes used on drop bars. After testing to see which one you need, cut off the other one. You should be able to wire up both brakes. **Q: Will it work for mechanical disc brakes?** A: Yes. You cut them to length. They work great with my bb7's **Q: How do I put the black rubber on the cable?** A: Feed the cable through the black housing it will make sense once you see it **Q: what is the use of ferrules and end caps? and do i need to buy extra ones from Shimano from amazon?** A: The new ferrules can replace the ones that should already be there on your bike. The end caps are used to prevent the ends of the wires from fraying. If you're just replacing these brake cables, no other extra parts are needed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by A***G on 30 June 2025* Shimano brake cables have good quality.
