Review on Jagwire Road Elite Sealed Brake Cable Kit SRAM/Shimano With Ultra-Slick Uncoated Cables by Wensheng Dunbar

Jagwire Road Elite: Smooth and Durable Brake Cables for Your Bike

If you're looking for a brake cable kit that can keep up with your intense cycling needs, the Jagwire Road Elite is worth considering. Designed for SRAM and Shimano brakes, these cables are sealed and protected to prevent dirt and moisture from causing friction and corrosion. The ultra-slick uncoated cables also minimize friction and provide better braking performance. Installing the Jagwire Road Elite kit was straightforward for me, with clear instructions and all the necessary parts included. I appreciate that the cable housing is flexible and easy to route, and the end caps fit snugly to prevent fraying. During my rides, I noticed a significant improvement in the smoothness and responsiveness of my braking, especially during hard stops and downhill descents. While I really like the Jagwire Road Elite kit, there are a couple of minor downsides to consider. Firstly, the price point may be higher than other brake cable options on the market. Secondly, the cables are not coated, which means they may require more frequent maintenance to prevent rust. Overall, the Jagwire Road Elite is a top-quality brake cable kit that delivers excellent performance and durability. If you're willing to invest in a premium product that can enhance your cycling experience, this kit is definitely worth checking out.

Pros
  • Parts & Components

  • Really disappointed that kit is about 500mm too short for bikes with downtube brake cable runs.
