Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Jagwire Mountain Shop KIT - Full Brake & Shifter Cable and Housing Kit- Sleek Black - SRAM/Shimano by Tim Larsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Jagwire shift and brake cables or better

Jagwire brake and shift cables offer excellent value for money. $25 for 4 cables. These aren't the best "PRO" cables that will set you back $65 for all 4. They are mid-range and sufficient. Not a 5 star rating as they must include 2 more shifter housing ends. I assume nobody has a bike mechanic because if they did they would know that on 80% of most MTBs the rear shifter cable has 3 separate housings that could use 6 of the 8 shifter cable ends. This leaves you with 2 ends on each end for the derailleur which has 2 cable housings requiring 4 housing ends. The brake cable housing is larger in diameter and the ends of the housing are too large to fit snugly within the smaller shift cable housing.
