What is the Shimano stainless road brake cable for?

This is Shimano's 1.6mm x 2050mm stainless steel inner brake cable for road STI brake levers, featuring a pear-end tip that seats correctly in Shimano road lever barrels. Road brake cables use a pear-end (barrel) tip rather than the cylindrical tip used on MTB levers -- using the wrong cable type will result in a cable that doesn't seat properly in the lever. Stainless construction provides corrosion resistance for all-weather riding. At 2050mm it covers the full front and rear cable run on most road frames.

1.6mm diameter, 2050mm length, pear-end tip. Compatible with Shimano STI road brake levers and most other road brake levers using pear-end cable. Sold as a single cable.

FAQ

What is the difference between road and MTB brake cables?: Road brake cables use a pear (barrel) end tip. MTB cables use a cylindrical tip. Using the wrong type results in improper lever barrel seating and unreliable braking.

Is this cable compatible with non-Shimano brake levers?: Yes. The 1.6mm pear-end cable is compatible with Shimano STI levers across all road groupset tiers and most other road brake levers using a pear-end barrel socket.

Does this cable include brake housing?: No. This listing is for the inner cable only. Compatible brake housing must be purchased separately.

Best For

Road cyclists maintaining any Shimano STI-equipped road bike who need a correct-spec OEM brake cable for front or rear rim brake replacement.
