Review on Campagnolo JAGWIRE Road Shop KIT - Comprehensive 🚴 Brake & Shifter Cable and Housing Set in Black by Jacob Andreti

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor replacement for famous brands

I thought I would save money by using Jagwire instead of Campagnolo. But they are such a poor substitute that I decided to eat up the cost and throw them away. The problem is that the brake cables slip, possibly due to the slick texture. If I squeeze the lever multiple times, the cable comes loose no matter how tight the anchor bolts are tightened. I should have learned my lesson as I had the same issue with a different set of Campy brakes. I thought at the time that maybe the notch in the brake had widened, but I solved the problem with a cheap universal cable. After that I bought and installed the Campy cables and the problems were resolved. That's a shame because the Jagwire body, cable ends, and spade lugs are well made. However, the cables failed four times out of four.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
