The shimano gear shift housing should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It works to replace your prexisting shimano set. These are shimano-brand, made-to-perform, but will last. It works well, even under unusual circumstances and uses.
The Standard Shimano cable set is good quality and length is enough with a bit to spare. There is enough length and enough hardware to swap successfully. These are no good for shifting but are made for brakes, they are advertised and brake and shift, but the housing is only for brake application. It is plenty long enough additionally has different shaped ends. The brake cable housing is larger.
Why We Like This:
Comes with more than enough housing
Easy enough to thread through the shifting system and get it all attached again

The eastern power gear shift housing should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This is good shift cable/housing. It is compatible with mtb, mountain bike, folding and road bicycles’ shifter. The Bicycle Derailleur cable housing is 2000mm long and available for cutting, enough to meet your desired length. Most of it routes through the frame but the gold accents are pretty cool. It cuts very easily so that's a plus.
The cable covers are very high quality and durable reinforced cable and braided coating very nice. It will be an ideal choice to decorate your bike.
