Jagwire Shift Housing End Cap

No, these are specifically designed for 4mm shift housing. Brake housing is typically 5mm in diameter and requires larger, dedicated end caps.

The integrated nylon ring acts as a low-friction liner. It prevents the inner cable from rubbing against the metal edge of the housing, which reduces friction and protects delicate Teflon coatings from premature wear.

Brass is a more durable material for this application. It provides a rigid, secure termination point that resists deformation under the tension of your shifting system, ensuring your housing stays stable for consistent gear changes.

It is highly recommended. Over time, the internal liner can wear down or become contaminated with debris, which increases friction. Installing fresh caps ensures your new cables perform at their best.

Each pack contains 10 individual end caps, which is typically enough to outfit the entire shifting system on a standard road or mountain bike.
