   After working as a mechanic for several years, I got a bit jaded on aftermarket cable kits versus OEM Campy/Shimano kits.Well, for one, they’re expensive for what you get, especially the Campagnolo kits. No sealing, pretty basic stamped-steel bushings, and the same coiled cable housing that’s been used for a century. Plus, your choice of black or white.I’ve been using Jagwire kits for a decade now, back when they had a Kevlar road kit, which is still going strong on one of my road bikes with occasional inner cable replacement. The housing is pre-lubed and the inner wire is very, very smooth, but what really makes the deal is the assortments of bushings they provide and their sturdiness in cable bosses. Long-nose for open runs along the top/down tubes, and machined aluminum bushings, including their POP ones for V-Brakes, at the caliper. I save the extras for other builds I’ve done.With this particular set, I’ve been using them for a few years on a hybrid mech/hydro setup—TRP levers and TRP Hy/Rd calipers on a Raleigh RXS, which is intended for a full-hydro line. They give you enough housing to run the full length housed. The housing comes in a single piece, with more flexible, traditional coiled housing at either end, for getting the cable to the levers. Otherwise, its a very stiff, zero compression housing. I really can’t tell that my brakes aren’t full hydro if it weren’t for the lack of hassle and bleeding. The inner cables, aside from the smooth polishing, aren’t anything fancy but they really minimize drag. One caveat from installing another set on a different bike: the inner cable heads do NOT fit Campagnolo Ergo levers without a lot of filing (and yes, I did file them down, that’s how much I love these).Kit comes with a pair of nice rubber bumpers so you don’t have to put adhesive squares on your head tube, and a couple retainers that clip the cables together that reduce rattling. Minor little things that make your bike a little quieter (“like the zen of the wind,” as my old boss used to say)Color selection is nice, too. Ice gray on my neon yellow bike and flat black on my…well, flat black bike. The Bianchi green matches their frame paint well.Last thing: the instructions included are absolutely terrible, but if you know how to replace cables, you don’t need them. Just use the bushings that fit, and for god sake, use a real Park cable cutter. Other than that, these are a great upgrade from OEM Campy/SRAM/Shimano cables without the expense and diminishing returns of something exotic like Ashima.

   If you are a DIYer, these brake kits are the BOMB!. You kind of need some basic mechanic skills but nothing ridiculous.They will improve your braking efficiency by 36.4% (scientifically tested, by me)

   These cables are perfect. No compression on the housing. Everything needed is included.

   Great upgrade for my Poseidon X factory cable. I can definitely tell these are quite nice upgrades. They are stiffer and somewhat a pain to “route” depending on your frame. But definitely worth it! Would purchase again and recommend it!

   Ordered this for my poseidon x after not so great braking performance even after getting checked by my local bike shop. Saw a few videos about how great these are and decided to try them out.Installation went great, and wow did it make a huge difference. The videos weren’t exaggerating. With the traditional spiral wound housings the brakes were squishy and took a lot of pressure to stop.Now with these housings the lever pull was crisp and super light. Definitely recommend these $30 brake housings before getting new brakes.

   As far as I’m concerned, Jagwire makes the absolute best cable replacement kits. These cables hold up quite well. The kit contains everything you could possibly need, besides the cable cutters! The lined cable housing is especially useful and decreases friction.
