Customer Reviews
Pretty good deal. Seriously. $8 for a brand new set of cables, housing, and even a few ferrules and cable tips. That's a LOT of cable for about $9. Check, now its $5.50 at Amazon. Damn good deal!
The shift housings are coiled, not compressionless. If you have index shifter (shifters that are numbered), then you might want to look for compressionless shifter cables. If you have friction shifters (levers), you'll be fine. Still, the brake cables are universal, so you are fine in that respect.
Just a tip (got from a friend): when you cut the cable, the ends can fray. If you do not have a bicycle cable cutter, what you can do is wrap a small amount (maybe 2-3 turns) of electrical tape around the point you will cut, and then cut the cable with a regular cable cutter, sort of snipping then turning then snipping again. I got a REALLY cut with this tip.
Great product, all cables worked great, well made. too bad two days after receiving and installing mine I found the exact same BELL BIKE FIX CABLE SET at Walmart for $4.96. Thanks Bell, BOO to Amazon. I've had great results cutting cables with a sharp chisel and a no bounce hammer. never had a frayed cable.
