Metallic Braid Brake Cable Kits

This is the third bike that I've used these on. They're beautiful, well made and the price is more than reasonable.

The results speak for themselves. The metallic silver housing is the perfect compliment to chrome components on a bicycle. Smooth braking and shifting performance, easy to cut and work with cable.

I just installed new cables and housing on my old Bianchi last weekend. They look so good I came back today for another set. I used cheap cable cutters, and a small wood screw to round back out the cut housing. It’s perfect and has a retro look I haven’t found anywhere else.

I bought these for my conversion to single speed bike. I left the original chrome Shimano 600 brakes on. These cables paired with the Grand Cru levers look really clean. re the previous comment about cutting them. I invested in the Park Tool cable cutters.

These housings are drop dead gorgeous but dang it if they ain't difficult to cleanly nip them. I don't consider myself particularly ham-fisted but I found the outer weave to be frilly to the point where it effects braking. I wouldn't install them unless you have the housing ends 1000% cleaned up. Maybe there's a trick to it that I'm not picking up on. Enlighten me!
