Nice, complete kit - but not ideal for SRAM,
By Bill (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The housings and cables offered in the kit are high quality, and color choice is kind of a cool feature as well. The housing is compressionless, and one thing I especially liked about it is the brake housing is similar in design to standard derailluer cable housing, meaning it's made from longitudinal strands instead of hard coiled flat strands like you see in other brake cable housings. This makes cutting it easier since you don't have to grind flush or otherwise manipulate the brake housing. I would have given this 5 stars, except that the jagwire "POP" ferrules don't work with SRAM brakes very well. I can see them being awesome for shimano brakes, where normally a ferrule doesn't fit into the barrel adjuster, but on SRAM, where the adjuster is wider and made to fit a ferrule already, they actually make the connection less secure rather than more. So, I had to reuse my SRAM ferrules, but other than that, the cables and housing work great, and came with everything you need.

Excellent Replacement for Shimano Cables,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jagwire Racer DIY Brake and Derailleur K (Misc.)
These work as well as the Shimano Dura Ace shifter cables. Brake cables have a little more firm feel to them than the Shimano's which makes braking easier to modulate. Ferrules with an o-ring seal, frame proctectors for the outer cable casing and rubber cable grommets are also included which is a nice bonus. Overall I'd say these are a better choice than the stock Shimano cable set and less expensive too.

Great cable + Housing,
By D Horn (DUBLIN, CA, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This cable set is amazing. The brake housing is very stiff (Kevlar reinforced). Little difficult to cut as a result, make sure you have good sharp cable cutters with good leverage. Once installed, the brake feel is very solid and reassuring.
Similarly, the gear cable set is also very solid. Both brake action and gear shift so far have proved very precise and solid. Very well made, the kit has everything you'll need for a complete install. This was a new bike build for me, so I can't give like for like comparison, but would definitely use Jagwire again on a bike. 2115|RUV0QAZNSJQ3K;2115|R3P7HADQFKT8I9;2115|R2SDY6PGVRJTHN;
