Bontrager Elite Shift Cable & Housing

Yes, the Elite Shift Cable & Housing Set is designed to be compatible with both Shimano and SRAM shifting systems, making it a versatile choice for most standard road and mountain bike setups.

No, this is a comprehensive kit. It includes the pre-lubed housing, pre-stretched stainless steel cables, shift ferrules, frame protectors, and cable end caps, so you have everything required for a full installation.

Compressionless housing prevents the outer casing from squishing under tension when you shift gears. This creates a more direct connection between your shifter and derailleur, resulting in crisper, more responsive gear changes.

Yes, the stainless steel cables are pre-stretched during manufacturing. This helps maintain consistent gear indexing from the start, meaning you won't have to readjust your derailleur as frequently after the initial installation.

The kit provides a 2300mm cable and 3200mm of housing. This length is generous enough to accommodate most bike frames, including those with full-length housing runs.

The cables are made from high-quality stainless steel, which is inherently resistant to corrosion. While they are durable, we still recommend keeping them clean and occasionally applying a light lubricant to ensure smooth operation over the long term.
