Velo Orange Derailleur Cable Kit

Yes, the kit is designed for standard derailleur systems. Since it includes 1.2mm inner cables and 5mm housing, it is compatible with most indexed and friction shifting setups found on road and mountain bikes.

Pre-stretched cables significantly reduce the 'break-in' period where new cables typically loosen up. This means your shifting will stay precise and crisp right from the first ride, requiring fewer adjustments shortly after installation.

The kit includes 4000mm of housing, which is generous enough for most standard setups, including those that require full-length housing runs from the shifter to the derailleur.

The kit comes with standard ferrules that fit most common frame cable stops and derailleur housing ports. If you are working on a vintage frame with unique or non-standard stops, you might need to source specific ferrules separately.

You will need a high-quality cable cutter to ensure clean, non-frayed cuts on both the housing and the stainless steel inner cables. Standard wire cutters will often crush the housing, which can negatively impact your shifting performance.
