Shimano PTFE Brake Cable and Housing Set

Simply the best brake cable you can buy. Lasts a good long time between changes. Low stretch means no need to have to go back and adjust the brakes after the first couple of uses. Use a good quality casing cutter to prevent the casing from being crushed. Lots of colors available. I use white on my road bike, grey on trainer bike and black on my gravel bike. Lots of great mileage out of all of them.

The usual high quality you expect from all things Shimano. Everything you need for installation of mechanical deraileurs, brake/shifters, and calipers with every small part needed for the process. I won't use anything else.

Works perfectly, as with ANY!! cable housing, use a "sacrificial" short length of old cable so the housing doesn't get crushed too much, then use an ice pick to smooth out burrs for the cut/crushed end. Basic black housing is fine, but I am glad Shimano is offering these unique colors (not only for style, but also to quickly id bike in Transition areas OR just in crazy crammed college racks).

I had recently had my cables replaced at a bike shop and after just a few rides I could see corosion building after a few more i started having problems shifting and braking. My purchase of Shimano PFTE cable has been by far the best investement I have made a my bike. Shifting has been smooth and problem free. Braking is sharp and i have not experience in problems with corosion or any other problems. I highly recomend this product.

Cannot beat OEM Shimano PTFE Brake Cables!! Great upgrade or Fresh cable replacement. Comes complete with everything in the package.

The cables and housing are of good quality and work well. There was ample cable and housing for my road frame with side-pull brakes. I don't think the cable is PTFE coated (which is what the description says), but rather these have standard (stainless?) steel cables and PTFE-lined housings. PTFE-lined housings make a real difference in the feel of your brakes. You should still grease the cables, but the PTFE liner makes them slide with very little friction. I pre-stretched the cables by holding the cable against the housing with a pair of channel-locks and pulling the lever to the bar a few times, before cutting them down to size. (If you this, be sure to retract the cable into the housing before you cut it.) This aided installation, as I then only had to get the cable position right the first time, and the adjustment stayed put. Why these don't get a five-star review: It says that "all ferrules" to complete the job are included, but there are only two housing ferrules, and those two are not o-ring sealed. I only had two o-ring sealed ferrules on hand, so I used those at the lever side. What do they want me to do, leave them off? The cable ends are large and ugly, but get the job done. I've used much better looking ends that were made of less material.

They work very well. Not sure how long they will last. But right now, shifting is very easy.

What can one say................Shimano stuff from Japan is spot on. Nothing more to say. This cable system works great. The PTFE coated cables are slick as owl poop! Hey, I could write some long review here but at the end of it nothing changes......cable kits are cable kits and this works.

30年前に購入したレイダック（ブリジストン）に使用しました。10数年ぶりに換えました。 難無く交換し普通に使用しています。初期の伸びもレバーを何度か握ってやると殆ど気にならないレベルになります。 こういった部品は気になった時に直に購入できて当り前にストレスなく交換できるのが何より良いのではと思います。 それから一つだけこだわりが有ってワイヤーエンドはアルミキャップじゃなくて半田を盛ることにしているのですが・・・ 手持ちの半田ごての容量が小さいためなかなか付きませんでしたがフラックスを付けバーナーライターであぶったら 綺麗に流れてしっかり付きました。 とにかく当り前に使えて滑りも良く伸びも直に取れて・・・ と、とても気に入ってます。
