Review on Optimized SHIMANO PTFE Road Brake Cable and Housing Set by Michael Patilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super smooth! Exact shade (at least on my screen). PERFECT for vintage Bianchi BLUE bike.

Works great, like ALL! Cable housing, use a short "sacrificial" length of old cable so the housing is not severely crimped, then use an ice pick to smooth the burrs on the cut/crimped end. The basic black body is fine, but I'm glad Shimano offers these unique colors (not just for style, but for quick bike identification in transitional areas OR just insanely crowded college racks).
