JagwirePro 5 mm KEB-SL Compressionless Bicycle Brake Housing | Kevlar-Reinforced | Slick-Lube Inner Liner | 10 Meters | White

This is not the housing you’re looking for if you have a mechanical or hybrid disc system. Looks good but after just two weeks and 300 miles the housing began to spiral and is definitely not totally compressionless. So it’s being replaced with Yokozuna reaction housing that adds an extra layer wrapped around the inner strands. Hopefully that will be a better solution.

and best price,will be back.

Mechanical disc brakes still are terrible but these make them better especially the rear and are a must. Price is misleadingly high as you can easily re-cable the bike two or three times with what’s included making it around the same price as Dura-Ace brake cable housing.

Got these to replace the cheap generic housings on my CAADX after I decided to ditch the (kinda crappy) ProMax brakes for TRP Spyres - shifting feels about the same, but the brakes are way better with these non-compressible housings vs the cheaper stuff.As for wrapping the bars etc with these stiffer lines...I personally haven't had any issues. Yes, they're a little more fiddly but being generous with electrical tape makes it easy enough.

This compressionless housing really makes a difference.I am using TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes on an internal routing frame, thus the run of the rear brake housing is over 6 ft long.The difference in feel when compared with the regular Jagwire housing is not subtle.But, it's not a must have either, for the regular Jagwire does the job as well, you only have to squeeze more and absorb some spongyness inherent with the regular brake housing.I was able to lock the rear wheel with all my 200lbs on the saddle with it too.But the compressionless one feels better, the pads bite sooner and stronger. Braking late is more fun and the confidence in braking is stronger.I have aero carbon handlebar with internal routing and the flex terminators Jagwire recommends were not needed, didn't use any of them (they were a separate purchase).This compressuoless housing is stiffer, but not that much stiffer when compared with the regular Jagwire housing.All-in-all, very happy with the purchase. The product is great, the upgrade it brings is palpable and the price is great.

I am adapting a 21 speed derailleur bicycle for use as a motorized bike, using a 4.4 HP chainsaw two stroke engine. The engine will turn the pedal crank shaft through a gear reduction system and will be able to exceed 40 mph. I can't afford a fully hydraulic disc braking system, so bought these brake cables. I am using a hybrid type of "cable actuated" hydraulic brake caliper, and the design of these cables give excellent feel and feed back when applying the brakes. These "compressionless" brake cables cost more than regular brake cables, but are worth it.

I got this to build up a Crust Bombora with Spyre brakes and dual control levers. This is an XXL frame with full length housing runs. While I'm not sold on the Spyre brakes, the compressionless housing makes them feel much more solid than spiral wound. I also installed it on a couple bikes with caliper brakes. Not a game changer with good dual pivot brakes, but certainly less squish in the overall feel of the brakes. I did buy some Jagwire housing connectors so I could use spiral housing for the first 6" or so from the lever in order to smoothly bend on the inside of the handlebars. It's expensive, but for mechanical discs, definitely the way to go.

Be careful what one you order. I ordered red, picture showed grey…. I received grey. Housing is great, one star for not paying attention by the seller.

avevo (passato ormai remoto) problemi di modulazione/potenza della frenata con il freno v-brake posteriore. sostituito la guaina spiralata con questa keb-sl mtb . RISOLTO alla grande. inoltre questa compressionless è da considerarsi indispensabile per l'installazione di pinze a comando meccanico su impianto frenante a disco. la confezione contiene tutto quello che è descritto. armatevi di un buon paio di cesoie o dremel per tagliare la guaina in modo pulito

Wenn der Druckpunkt der mechanischen Scheibenbremsen mit normaler Bremszughülle zu weich ist ist das hier die Lösung. Drähte in der Hülle laufen tangential anstatt spiralförmig. Dadurch viel druckstabiler. Einziger Nachteil: weniger flexibel.Der Quantensprung im Druckpunkt ist jeden Stern wert.

This shouldn’t be an afterthought when installing mechanical disc brakes - particularly road brakes wher the mechanical advantage is reduced.Completely changes the feel in the brake pull and for long lines as is found on cargo bikes - the difference is dramatic.

good cabel.
