Premium Universal Bike Brake Cable Set - Include Front and Rear Brake Cables & Housing - Complete Brake Replacement Kit for Mountain, Trail, Cruisers, MTB, City Bikes

Key Features

  • Complete Set: Includes two brake cables, one continuous length of brake housing, ferrules, and cable end caps for a full front and rear brake replacement.
  • Cable Specifications: 2000mm length x 1.5mm diameter. Designed to be cut to size for front or rear application.
  • Durable Construction: Inner cables are constructed from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant steel strands for strength and longevity.
  • High-Performance Housing: 5mm diameter housing features a low-friction polymer liner to ensure smooth, responsive braking action.
  • Universal Nipple End: Equipped with a standard barrel end for mountain bike (MTB) and flat-bar style brake levers.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Provides a universal replacement for standard mechanical brake cable and housing systems on most major bicycle brands.
  • Serves as a direct-fit alternative to generic or OEM replacement kits such as Shimano, SRAM, and other standard brake systems.
  • Suitable for upgrading or replacing original equipment cables on a wide variety of bicycles.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Bike Types: Designed for Mountain Bikes (MTB), Trail Bikes, Cruisers, City Bikes, and other bicycles using flat-bar or upright handlebars.
  • Brake Systems: Compatible with mechanical brake systems, including V-brakes, cantilever brakes, caliper brakes, and mechanical disc brakes.
  • Lever Type: Fits standard MTB-style brake levers that require a barrel-shaped cable end nipple. Not compatible with road bike brake levers requiring a pear-shaped nipple.
  • Cut-to-Fit Design: Both the inner cable and the outer housing are provided in long lengths to be cut for a precise fit on various frame sizes and handlebar configurations.

When to Replace

  • Braking performance is diminished, spongy, or inconsistent.
  • Inner cable shows signs of fraying, corrosion, or kinks.
  • Brake lever action feels stiff, gritty, or does not return smoothly.
  • Outer housing is cracked, compressed, or bent at sharp angles.
  • Regular maintenance interval, typically every 1-2 years depending on use and riding conditions.

Installation Tips

  • Use a dedicated cable and housing cutter to ensure a clean, square cut. A poor cut can cause friction and fraying.
  • Ensure ferrules are installed on each end of a cut housing section before inserting the cable.
  • Measure the new housing against the old housing segments to achieve the correct lengths for your frame.
  • After installation, pull the brake lever firmly multiple times to bed in the housing and pre-stretch the cable, then re-adjust tension at the caliper and barrel adjuster.
  • Always install a cable end cap and crimp it securely to prevent the cut cable from unraveling.

FAQ

This universal brake cable set is generally used on bikes with cable-actuated brake systems, including many mountain bikes, trail bikes, cruisers, city bikes, and MTB-style bikes. It is typically suitable for mechanical rim brakes and many mechanical disc brake setups. It is not intended for hydraulic brake systems, which use fluid lines instead of steel cables.
Common signs include heavy or sticky brake lever pull, frayed cable ends, delayed brake response, reduced braking power, uneven cable movement, rust or corrosion on the inner cable, or cracked/compressed housing. If the brakes do not release smoothly or require frequent adjustment, worn cables or housing are often the cause.
Yes. This type of complete brake replacement kit is intended to service both the front and rear brake cable runs, including inner brake cables and outer housing for a full brake cable refresh.
Typical tools include cable cutters, Allen keys or hex wrenches, needle-nose pliers, and possibly a screwdriver depending on your brake setup. A proper bicycle cable/housing cutter is strongly recommended so the housing ends stay clean and open for smooth cable movement.
For someone familiar with basic bike maintenance, replacing both front and rear brake cables and housing is usually a moderate job that takes about 30 to 90 minutes. Time depends on the frame routing, brake type, and whether old housing is seized or damaged. First-time installers may need extra time to cut housing correctly and fine-tune brake adjustment.
Inspect the brake levers, calipers or mechanical disc brake arms, ferrules, cable stops, and frame routing points. Make sure the brakes themselves move freely and the pads are not excessively worn. If the old cable failed because of contamination, corrosion, or kinked housing, replacing housing along with the inner cable is the best approach.
Brake cables and housing commonly wear from moisture intrusion, corrosion, dirt buildup, repeated braking load, sharp bends in the routing, and normal cable stretch over time. On bikes stored outdoors or ridden in wet or muddy conditions, the housing liner and inner cable can degrade faster and cause drag or inconsistent braking.
Yes. After installing new cables and housing, you should set cable tension, center the brakes if needed, and confirm that the pads contact the rim or rotor correctly. New cables can settle slightly after the first few rides, so a follow-up adjustment is often needed to maintain proper lever feel and braking performance.
