Review on 🚲 Universal Bike Shift Derailleur and Brake Cable Housing Replacement Kit - YAKAMOZ 2-in-1 for Mountain Road Bike Cycling Repair by Darius Newberry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great price but one small problem

This is a very inexpensive replacement brake and shift cable for amateur cyclists like my wife and me. Our bikes (Giant) are 90% Shimano parts and I only have one small complaint. The Shimano brake cable nipple (more barrel-shaped than the pear at the other end) for Shimano brakes is slightly smaller in circumference and height, causing the nipple not to sit straight or tight in the brake housing mount. On our bikes, the nipple can twist in the body and dangle a little. I think they will work, haven't tested it yet, but if that becomes a problem I will replace the internal brake cables with better ones. Good luck, your mileage may vary. A funny moment. If you look closely at the picture of the rear derailleur above, you will see that the cable is marked "Shimano SIS" which is not this product.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Vulgarity
