FAQ

What is the difference between road and MTB brake cables?: MTB brake cables use a cylindrical end tip. Road cables use a pear (barrel) end tip. The two are not interchangeable. Using the wrong end style results in improper barrel seating and unreliable braking.

Is this cable compatible with non-Shimano MTB brake levers?: Yes. The 1.6mm cylindrical-end cable is the standard format used by Shimano MTB brake levers and most other MTB brake levers using a cylindrical-end barrel socket.

Does this cable include brake housing?: No. This is the inner cable only. Brake housing must be sourced separately and cut to match the routing path.

Best For

MTB riders maintaining a Shimano-equipped mountain bike who need a correct-spec OEM mountain brake cable for front or rear hydraulic-converted or mechanical disc/V-brake replacement.
