Excellent product in my review

I'm rebuilding an ancient Pugeot "racer" and these are perfect replacement parts. The color I selected even matches the paint. The kit comes with little "donuts" to hold the bare cable away from the frame, also little plastic end covers for the cable housings. The cables themselves have different moldings at each end so you can choose which fits your equipment and cut the other piece off. Also comes with crimp-on covers for the cable ends, but I instead, used silver solder to keep the cable end

Pros
  • 👌
Cons
  • Durability Issues

I got these to replace a kids bike shift cable (barrel style on the handlebar) worked great, had to cut two pieces of the sleeve/wrapper to length and that was a bit of a challenge, suggest using a dremmel/grinder or maybe bolt cutters to do it as hacksaw blades jammed up a bit and large wire cutters only worked so so but otherwise great universal fit.

Pros
  • It arrived in a short time. It was as described and I was able to replace the old cables easily.
Cons
  • The 5-Color Universal Bike Shifter And Derailleur Housing Kit may not be compatible with all types of bikes, limiting its usefulness to certain models and brands.

Housing not long enough

Color is great, but the cable housing length is certainly not long enough to use for front and rear shifter on my size Large mountain bike.

Pros
  • Thks.. very nice cable good for upgraded...
Cons
  • Higher Price
