Jagwire Brake Cable Kit

Yes, this kit is designed with universal compatibility in mind. It includes enough housing and cable length to accommodate the standard rim brake setups found on most mountain and road bicycles.

Pre-stretching is a manufacturing process that removes the initial slack from the steel cable. This means your brakes will feel firm and responsive right from the first ride, rather than feeling mushy as the cable settles over time.

No, this kit is specifically engineered for rim brake systems. The housing and cable ends are not designed to work with the mechanical disc brake calipers found on many modern bikes.

You will need a high-quality cable cutter to ensure a clean, non-frayed cut on the housing and inner cables. Standard wire cutters or pliers often crush the housing, which can cause friction and poor braking performance.

The CEX lining inside the housing acts as a low-friction sleeve for the inner cable to slide through. This reduces drag, resulting in a smoother lever pull and more consistent stopping power compared to unlined housing.
