SRAM SlickWire Brake Cable Kit V2

This kit is specifically designed for mechanical brake systems. It works well with both mechanical disc and rim brakes, provided your bike uses standard cable-actuated setups.

Standard housing can compress slightly when you pull the brake lever, which leads to a 'mushy' or vague feeling. Compression-free housing maintains its shape under tension, resulting in a much firmer, more responsive lever feel and more consistent stopping power.

Yes, the kit is designed as a complete solution for both the front and rear brakes. It includes all the necessary cables, housing, ferrules, and end caps to refresh your entire braking system.

Mountain biking subjects your bike to constant vibrations, impacts, and tight cable routing. The Kevlar reinforcement adds significant structural integrity to the housing, preventing it from kinking or failing under the high-stress conditions typical of trail riding.

While this kit is optimized for mountain bike geometry and cable routing, it is not recommended for road bikes. Road brake systems often require different housing diameters and cable end types that may not be compatible with this specific MTB-focused kit.

You will need a high-quality cable cutter designed for bicycle housing to ensure clean, non-crushed ends. Standard wire cutters will likely fray the stainless steel cables or crush the housing, which can compromise the performance of the compression-free design.
