Not only do they provide nice colors to customize the bike with, they also provide better braking than what came stock on the bike by using compressionless housing.

Review by VelobeckReviewed 3/22/2021by VelobeckCycling EnthusiastTacoma, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Nice cablesThe housing now has longitudinal metal banding instead of the prior coiliing metal band. Thus, easier to ensure no sharp end jeopardiing the integrity of the cable.

Review by PaulReviewed 10/24/2020by PaulCompetitive RacerMaryland2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Quality cables and housingThis kit has everything you need to set up or replace cable actuated brakes. The compassionless housing is an absolute must if you're running mechanical disc brakes.

Review by T800-CanondaleReviewed 4/2/2018by T800-CanondaleDaily CommuterPortland, OR10 of 14 customers found this review helpful.Nice Kit with Everything You Need IncludedThis is my second compressionless kit (new bike build), will never go back to the cheaper stuff. Has a very responsive feeling using this with my cantilever brakes. This kit comes with all the rubber donuts and ferules needed to redo your brakes, and a generous length of housing for most bikes. The compression-less bendable ends worked great with my TRP RRL brake levers. Also used the Jagwire Pro Indexed Inline Brake Adjusters, and the Jagwire Brake Pad Toe-in Tuner Tool (awesome). It's also worth it to buy a bike cable cutting tool, don't mess up your install with an ordinary set of household wire cutters! I use the Pedro's wire cutting tool, makes nice straight cuts through the thick housing. Also an actual awl is real nice to have instead of fidgeting with a nail to open the cable housings up post cut, and a file to get the ends perfect. Save money if you want, but do all this and you will end up with the your brakes set up as perfect as possible.
