There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did find the housings to be easier to crush when cutting to length than I would prefer. I found putting one of the old cables inside before cutting helped, and you could work the end open easily with an awl or probably even a nail.
If your bike is not shifting correctly and the cable are a couple of years old (Or older!) its time to replace them. These will certainly help your bike shift better. If you have a more modern higher end machine I would advise you to look elsewhere.
If you've never replace brake or gear cable Youtube has plenty of tutorials on this subject. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a video for you particular bike. Also don't mix up the cables. You need to use the brake cable for the brakes and the gear/derailer cable for gears. They are made different and for specific purpose.
Here's a very valuable tip many other reviewers have mentioned and that is use a pair of cable cutters that are made for cutting brake or gear cable. I thought I would be fine using my pair of very high quality cable cutters however I was wrong. One of the cable I cut started to fray at the end and I had to discard that cable. I decided to get the Sunyou Mountain Bike Inner Outer Brake Gear Wire Cable Spoke Cutter Repair Tool. Although I don't feel this is the best quality tool i feel if you're a home bike mechanic this would be fine. Don't try to skimp using regular cable cutters.
For the price this is a great cable set.
Why three stars? The ferules are plastic and wouldn't fit my shifter or derailleur housings. The cables came unlubed and are poorly made with an inner liner that is really hard to poke clear. I don't expect these to handle weather well. Oh, and one week out the liner slid and unfurled up by the stem shifter. I had to redo a section of housing. Fun.

One key thing about this kit is that the cables are pre-threaded through the casings. This is important because you'll need to snip off the retention ends on the cables to get them out. Make sure you review what your bike actually needs, or else you risk winding up with a line that isn't compatible with your system. Other than that one consideration, they're pretty solid all around.
