What is the Shimano stainless tandem road brake cable for?

This is Shimano's 1.6mm x 3500mm stainless steel inner brake cable for tandem bicycles, featuring the pear-end tip required for road STI and drop-bar brake levers. Tandem bikes require significantly longer brake cables than standard bicycles due to the extended wheelbase -- a standard 2050mm cable will not reach from the front brake lever to the front caliper on most tandems. The 3500mm length covers virtually all tandem frame configurations without needing to splice cables. Correct cable length is essential for safe, effective braking on tandem bikes.

1.6mm diameter, 3500mm length, pear-end tip. For tandem bicycles with road-style drop-bar STI levers. Sold as a single cable.

FAQ

Why does a tandem need a 3500mm brake cable?: Tandem bikes have significantly longer cable runs than single bikes due to the second saddle, longer top tube, and routing around or under additional frame members. Standard 2050mm cables are too short.

Is this cable compatible with non-Shimano road brake levers?: Yes. The 1.6mm pear-end cable is the standard format used by 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 is the inner cable only. Brake housing must be sourced separately and cut to match the routing path.

Best For

Tandem cyclists or builders with extra-long brake routing who need a 3500mm OEM-spec inner brake cable for road STI levers.
