Jagwire is Great - Cycling

I have always used Jagwire to convert my bikes and it has never let me down. This party is no exception. It fits perfectly with my Ultegra/DuraAce kit, the tips are true to size, looks great! They feel a little stiffer than other OEM cables I've used and the ones he's replaced, but that's what you expect from shifter cables so they don't stretch and ghost shift.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Negative Experience

A definite upgrade over stock.

Saving space requires me to leave my bike outside from time to time, and that has a terrible impact on many of its moving parts. I had no idea it would damage my shifter but it did. The wires were corroding and wearing out and no longer running through the cases like they should. This replacement kit is very easy to install and noticeably improves shifting. I can't explain it, but it just seems smoother, at least when upgrading from broken junk.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Crumpled

Great buy for your money

Firstly for both the derailleur and derailleur - if you ride the casing end to end this is just about enough. If you walk along the frame at times, you have little room for error. Secondly, the cables are definitely long enough for the front and rear. You need real body scissors when working with the body. If you have a dull or cheap regular wire cutter you will damage the case. I bought cable and case cutters from here for about $15, the red handle name starts with an "m". Good luck and enjoyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Small things

This kit only contains 8 plastic sleeves, many bikes require 10.

This is a good price per kit compared to Jagwire's retail kit, but note that the product description says 'All end caps and cables required. Notes" but it doesn't say it only comes with 8 lugs, while many bikes need 10 lugs to fully replace a shifter cable. Of course you can see the number on the picture and it was answered in the FAQ, but the product description does really needs to be updated to include the number and let's be honest here these are plastic end caps will it really destroyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Some complications

Great cable set. Baby

Came with enough body to completely drain the bike for derailleur and derailleur. The cable was more than enough for both and is a very good cable too. Pros: High quality cable. High quality body. Great length on both. Multiple colors to match your cycling scheme. Cons: You need a good set of cutters when starting the corps. This is very difficult when you have a pair of dull or cheap wire cutters. There is wire running all the way down the cable and if you mess up the cut it will either splitโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
