Jagwire Pro Brake Housing

Yes, this 5mm housing is designed for standard mechanical brake systems, including both rim brakes and mechanical disc calipers.

Unlike standard coiled housing that can flex under high pressure, compressionless housing maintains its shape when you squeeze the lever. This ensures that all the force from your hand goes directly to the caliper, resulting in a firmer, more responsive braking feel.

No, the internal liner comes pre-lubricated with Jagwire's Slick-Lube. Adding extra grease or oil can actually attract dirt and debris, which may increase friction over time.

No, you should not use this for shifting. Brake housing is built with a different internal structure to handle the high tension of braking, while shift housing is designed to be compressionless in a way that supports precise indexing. Using the wrong type will negatively affect your bike's performance.

Absolutely. While it is a bulk roll intended for workshops, it is an excellent investment if you maintain multiple bikes, frequently replace cables, or want to keep a supply on hand for future repairs.
