Review on ๐Ÿšด Jagwire Road Pro Brake DIY Cable Kit: Polished Stainless Cables for SRAM and Shimano Bikes, 10 Vibrant Colors Available! by Travis Flores

Nice Kit for Sport

This kit contains everything you need to replace brake sleeves and cables. I even routed the body from the shifter to the rear brake and I still have some left over (my favorite method of routing cables in the frame). The cables appear to be well constructed and low-friction. I've only been using them on my bike for a few weeks, but so far they're working great. One note: I bought a used bike (2015 Specialized Crux EVO) and they relocated the shifter cable housing to the rear brake. and pass the brake cable through. As my friend pointed out, this is "sub-optimal". The rear brake didn't release properly on this combo and it wasn't until I replaced it that I noticed an incompatible housing. While you could probably do without the use of brake cable housing on the derailleur, the opposite is definitely NOT true (for those who don't know, a brake cable is significantly longer than a shifter cable). After opening, keep the shift and brake cable and sleeve separate and mark them (I use zip bags and a marker) for those rare occasions when you only use one cable or have a sleeve left.
