UltraCycle Slick Stainless Steel Derailleur Cable

At 3100mm, this cable is significantly longer than the standard 2000mm-2300mm cables used on most single-rider bikes. While it will technically work, you will need to trim the excess length significantly, which may be unnecessary unless you are setting up a tandem or a recumbent bike.

Yes, this cable is designed to be compatible with both Shimano and SRAM shifting systems. Its 1.1mm diameter is the industry standard for derailleur cables, ensuring it fits properly within your existing housing and shifters.

The slick finish reduces internal friction as the cable moves through your housing. This results in lighter lever action and more precise, responsive shifting, especially in setups with long cable runs where friction can otherwise build up.

No, this is specifically a derailleur cable. Brake cables are thicker (typically 1.5mm to 1.6mm) and have a different head shape to fit brake levers; using a derailleur cable for your brakes is dangerous and should be avoided.

Yes, stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance compared to galvanized steel. It is a great choice if you frequently ride in wet, muddy, or salty conditions, as it helps prevent the cable from seizing inside the housing over time.
