Excellent Replacement for Shimano Cables November 1, 2009

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.
Better than stock for the same price June 15, 2010

I agree with the detailed descriptions in prior posting.
The housing is a very tightly wound wire over center plastic tube the cable passes through.
For the home mechanic this housing does not cut easily it takes very beefy cable cutters to
make a clean cut of it, I resorted to using long handle tin snips as my cable cutter
would crimp instead of cutting it.
 Nice, complete kit - but not ideal for SRAM January 27, 2010

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.
Nice kit! June 25, 2010

The Jagwire cables & housing have been a nice improvment to my road bike. Installation was easy and the performance has been great! I would buy this kit again for sure. Not to mention they look slick as well!
