Jagwire Lex-SL Cable Kit

The LEX-SL housing features a lubricated liner that significantly reduces friction compared to standard housing. This results in smoother, more precise shifting performance.

This kit is specifically designed for shifting systems. If you need to replace brake cables, you should look for a dedicated brake cable kit, as brake housing requires a different construction to handle higher compression forces.

No, the Slick-Wire cables are pre-stretched and polished to minimize friction. Adding extra lubricant can actually attract dirt and debris, which may degrade performance over time.

The sealed alloy ends provide a tighter fit at the entry points of your cable housing. This helps prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the system, keeping your shifting crisp for longer.

You will need a high-quality cable cutter designed for bicycle housing to ensure a clean, non-crushed cut. Standard wire cutters or pliers will likely fray the housing and cable, which can negatively impact performance.
