Wheels Manufacturing Cable Crimps

Yes, these 1.6mm aluminum crimps are designed to fit standard bicycle brake and derailleur cables, providing a secure finish for both systems.

While a dedicated cable crimping tool is ideal for a clean, professional look, you can easily secure them with a standard pair of needle-nose pliers by gently squeezing the crimp onto the cable end.

Aluminum crimps are significantly more durable and less likely to crack or fall off over time compared to plastic alternatives. They provide a more permanent, secure hold that withstands the vibration and movement of regular riding.

No, these are designed as a single-use item. Once crimped onto the cable, they deform to create a tight grip and should be removed and replaced with a fresh one whenever you trim or replace your cables.

It depends on how often you service your bikes, but having a bulk supply is incredibly convenient. If you maintain multiple bikes or perform regular maintenance, you will appreciate having a stash that lasts for years without needing to reorder.
