Review on Jagwire - Pro 5 mm KEB-SL Compressionless Bicycle Brake Housing with Kevlar-Reinforced Construction, Slick-Lube Inner Liner, 10 Meters, Available in Various Vibrant Colors by Hayden Hart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost as good as hydraulic brake lines.

I am adapting a 21 speed derailleur bike for use as a motorized bike with a 4.4hp 2-stroke chainsaw engine. The motor turns the pedal crankshaft via a reduction gear system and can reach speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour. I can't afford a fully hydraulic disc brake system so I bought these brake cables. I use a hybrid hydraulic cable operated caliper and the design of these cables gives great feel and feedback under braking. These non-compression brake cables cost more than regular brake cables, but they are worth the money.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • I don't really like it, it's ok
