Yes, and they have a proven track record of being excellent
I also put them on my wife's MTB, as well as my road bike. There are plenty of materials left, so all you have to do is cut them. I have spare pieces left over, so I used them as spares.
There are 2050 millimeters and 1000 millimeters
For housing, I wouldn't use a Dremel (tm) to cut the cable. Cutting a cable with diagonals is a good idea.
Selected User Reviews For SHIMANO PTFE Road Brake Cable and Housing Set
Putting my road frame with side-pull brakes on the road had plenty of cable and housing. PTFE coated cables aren't what the description says (which it is in the description), but rather these are 1) Steel cables and PTFE-coated steel cable A lining is used for housing. A PTFE-based product The feel of your brakes will be a lot better if they have lined housings. The PTFE liners make the cables very easy to slide still grease the cables, but they will slide very smoothly. This is my pre-written message Holding the cable against the housing with a pair of channel tool is the best way to stretch the cable Taking the lever to the bar and pulling the lock several times before cutting will help you get the best fit. (If you do this, be sure to retract the cable into the housing before cutting. made installation easier, since I only had to get the cable into place the first time, as the adjustment stayed in place. There are several reasons why these don't get five stars claims "all ferrules" needed for the job are included. However, only two housing ferrules are included, and they are not included with everything. There is a seal around the ring. Despite only having two options, I decided to stay I used ring-sealed ferrules at the lever side because I had them on hand. What should I do with the rest? It's ugly, large and big, but the cable ends do the job. In the past, I have made ends made from less material that appeared much better.
Fits perfectly for Bianchi's blue vintage bike. Works as it should on ANY bike! If you're working on a cable housing, you should use a short piece of old cable as a "sacrificial" length so it doesn't get too crushed. Then use an ice pick to smooth out burrs in the cut/crusted area. Although the basic black housing is fine for maintenance, I am glad that Shimano offers this variety of unique colors (not only for style, but also to quickly identify a bike in transition areas or even in.
I was able to get this cable set to work. I didn't use the actual cables in the end. The Shimano cables that I was trying to install had the wrong heads for this particular bike, which I realized when I tried to put them To finish the job, I split the set and used some other new cables. It took me only a few minutes to complete the job using a cheap cable cutter. Even if I don't buy it, I will test it to see if the difference is noticeable.
Between changes, there is a good deal of time between them. The brakes will not need to be adjusted after the first few uses due to low stretch. For best results, use a casing cutter made of high quality materials that will not crush the casing. You can choose from a number of colors. On my road bike, I use white, on my trainer bike, I use grey, and on my gravel bike I use black. All three deliver a lot of mileage.
There is only one cable end style and it does not fit the bike I was trying to rebuild or any of my other Despite the description, everything seems to be included. However, you can only use this with the type of brake There is no doubt that this is an excellent brake cable and would be a great fit for both the front and rear brakes. It has a great yellow color as well.
All my shifting cables and housings had to be replaced, so I thought I would also replace the braking cables and housing. I can definitely tell the difference between the cheap stock cables that came with my bike. You don't have to use any special tools to install it.
I'm impressed with how smooth and durable it is. It seems that my vintage SLR brakes perform best compared to other The best new housings out there are often stiff enough to have a negative impact on steering.
It's great to know that Shimano is still making these. I have a vintage racing bike from the 80s. These will replace the weathered cables and housings on it.
