Nice cable set at a good price.

I am a professional bicycle restorer. I restore handmade racing bikes. I have used these cables in several of my restorations. They look great and form well with minimal stretch.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Modern

Exactly what I needed!

Repairing my old Schwinn Prelude. The cables were easy to install and had lots of extra connectors, spade lugs and cable housings. (Which is great because I cut a piece too short and had a lot more to use). To update! I just replaced the cables on my Kent Nazz and they worked great! I ran out of bike to buy these cables!

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Good derailleur and brake cable replacement kit

If you ride an old bike with derailleurs and rim brakes, you probably need to replace the derailleur and brake cables. When these cables stretch and the housings begin to bind, braking performance degrades and shifting can be erratic. This kit contains many cables and housings that are completely interchangeable on a bike and there are probably very few left. I converted a flat grip hybrid Cannondale to an STI bar and shifter and replaced all the cables. I have enough left over to replace the…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Not very versatile

I ride a British Woodrup bike built in Leeds in the 1980's. These cables didn't work for the old brakes I was using. The drum on the end of the cable was smaller than the drum on my old cable, so it didn't fit the brake lever mechanism. So the job I wanted to do myself had to be finished at the bike shop that used these new cables, but they had to install new brake levers on my handlebars. The work cost more than I expected, including cables and brake levers. So these cables are not…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some bugs

An excellent set of cables

I bought it and already installed it works perfectly. Had to buy a special cord cutter, nothing I had was strong enough. Remember there are two cable and housing sizes, the thicker of the two is for your brakes. They give you enough to make two double pack bikes and 5 times more bits than I need (cable ends, bumpers, track connectors) so great value for money. Blue - bright blue, shiny, looks great on my silver bike. Easy to install if you take one cable at a time, remove the old cable but…

Pros
  • This is a miracle
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
