Wheels Manufacturing Cable Crimps

These crimps, also known as cable end caps, are designed to be pinched onto the cut ends of your derailleur or brake cables. They prevent the inner wire strands from fraying, which keeps your cables tidy and prevents them from snagging on your clothing or frame.

Yes, these are designed with a 1.6 mm diameter, which is the standard size for most bicycle inner cables. They are compatible with both derailleur and brake cables across virtually all bike types, including road, mountain, and hybrid bikes.

While you can technically use a pair of standard needle-nose pliers to squeeze them shut, a dedicated cable crimping tool provides a cleaner, more secure finish that is less likely to slip off over time.

No, these are intended for single use. Once crimped onto the cable end, they are deformed to create a secure hold. If you need to remove them for maintenance, you will need to snip the end of the cable off and install a fresh crimp.

This bulk pack is designed for home mechanics who perform frequent maintenance, bike shops, or anyone building multiple bikes. Because cable crimps are small and easily lost, having a large supply ensures you always have one on hand whenever you trim a cable.
