Jagwire Pro Brake Housing

Standard brake housing can compress slightly under heavy pressure, which creates a spongy or mushy feel at the lever. Compressionless housing is designed to resist this squish, ensuring that your lever input is transferred directly to the calipers for a firmer, more responsive feel.

Yes, this 5mm housing is designed for mechanical brake systems. However, ensure your specific brake setup requires 5mm housing, as some road systems use 5mm for brake housing while others may vary.

No, you should not add extra lubricant. This housing comes pre-installed with a Slick-Lube liner, which is designed to provide consistent, low-friction performance right out of the box.

Absolutely. While 10 meters is a significant amount of housing, it is ideal if you have multiple bikes to maintain, frequently replace cables, or want to keep a long-term supply on hand for your workshop.

No, you should not use this for shifting. Brake housing and shift housing have different internal constructions; using brake housing for shifting will result in poor, inconsistent gear indexing.
