Review by BirdfishReviewed 3/27/2016by BirdfishCycling EnthusiastSF east bay1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Derailleur set, Front cable waay too short for me tooI really don't understand, they provide plenty of housing, ferrules, everything else, but whoever decided on the length of the 'front' cable must have been working with a really tiny bike. Hey Jagwire, easy fix ship two long cables and let us snip the excess. You saved a maybe a buck in material providing a short cable but lost a fair amount of business judging by other reviews. It's a shame as the quality is quite good.

Review by Jerry PReviewed 1/12/2016by Jerry PFort Collins, Colorado2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Waste of moneyThe rear brake cable was 3 feet longer than needed. The rear derailleur cable was 1 foot longer than needed. The front derailleur was 4 inches too short and that's after only removing the end I didn't need. Now I have a nonfunctional bike until I can get a cable that's long enough. Jagwire has lost my business. If universal means too short for a 54cm frame then universal doesn't mean anything.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/25/2014by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastColorado2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.insufficient cable lengthThis is the first cable kit I have ever tried that did not provide a generous length of cable. On installing the front cable it became frayed after the initial cut so I cut another inch off and found it to be too short! Otherwise the kit is of reasonable quality and offers a choice of color. It could be better and no excuse for a short cable.

Review by C ShipleyReviewed 3/6/2014by C ShipleyCycling EnthusiastLexington, KY2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Jagwire makes good products.I use the hyper cable kit on 2 of my bikes. The kit comes with everything you need minus the cutters and crimper. They're smooth, affordable, and attractive. I highly recommend them as a good value. I also have the Jagwire pro kits on a couple of bikes and if you've got the money, they're lighter and have less compression.

Review by mwietrickReviewed 7/28/2013by mwietrickCycling Enthusiastsacramento, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Cables that your bicycle needsI try to replace the cables on my serious Double Century bicycles every year or at least every two years and this is the best cable set to use. Great price and over the top quality for a dependable setup that works perfectly. My components are SRAM Red on both my SWorks and Litespeed and these cables work perfectly all the time.

Review by JG in MilwaukeeReviewed 1/4/2013by JG in MilwaukeeCompetitive Racer4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Derailleur cable too shortKit was fine except that it came with two different inner cable lengths and the front derailleur cable was not long enough. Odd given that there was way more than enough cable housing. So it ended up being of low value and pricey given I had to buy another inner cable.

Review by OldwheelmanReviewed 8/9/2012by OldwheelmanCycling EnthusiastCharleston, SC0 of 10 customers found this review helpful.Works For MeThese cables were put on a bike that will never be ridden again. I restored my older daughter's very first road bike, a birthday gift when she was 5 years old, a 34 size Scapin with 16 in wheels, Campy drive train, Modolo brakes and Nisi wheels. The bike is now 25 years old and will be used a wall art since between her and her husband (both triathletes) they have more bikes than fingers! Right colors, right prices, does the job just fine.
