Jagwire Road Pro Complete Brake Cable Kit - Stealth Black

If like me you have cable disc brakes on your Road Bike and don't want to go down the hydraulic brake route,then you need to get this set,it really does make a big difference,probably still not quite up to hydraulic standards but not far short,the brake levers are easier to pull and have a much nicer feel,giving more confidence that you are actually going to stop,comes with lots of different fittings,the brake cables are different lengths so make sure you use the long one for the rear before you cut it to length.

Ottima fattura ma con qualche pecca: i capo guaina sono troppo lunghi e la guaina troppo rigida per ultimo pezzo freno posteriore

A bit expensive but worth it for the difference it made in brake performance and feel.

I picked up a new bike with internal cable routing to the disk brakes. The rear brake action was sticky, slow to engage, and the brake lever did not fully pop back into position. The problem was the cable and housing. Replacing them with the Jagwire kit COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY solved the problem. It made a world of difference. The Jagwire cable itself is super smooth (I think is it pulled thru a smoothing die during manufacturing). The housing cuts to length cleanly, The kit comes with a bunch of ferrules and clips. The housing has a more flexible section (about 15cm long) that handles the sharp curve under the handlebar tape, and that really makes routing easy. You can get the housing is a bunch of colors (I needed matte black) and the cables were plenty long. The kit gets five stars for sure! Thanks for reading, and I hope that the review is helpful.

This kit has everything you need to replace your brake housings and cables. I even ran housing from my shift lever all the way to the rear brake and had some left over (my preferred method for internal-to-frame routed cables). The cables seem well constructed and low friction. I've only had them on my bike for a few weeks now, but they are working great so far. One side note: I bought a bike used (a 2015 Specialized Crux EVO) and they had run shift cable housing to the rear brake and run brake cable through it. As a friend of mine commented this is "sub-optimal." The rear brake was not releasing properly with this combination and it wasn't until I was replacing it that I noticed the incompatible housing. While you could probably get away with using brake cable housing to a shifter, the opposite is definitely NOT true (for those who don't know, brake cable is significantly larger than shift cable). Keep shift and brake cable & housing separated after opening and labelled (I use zip-loc bags and a sharpie) in those rare cases when you only use one cable or have housing left over.
