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.
