Jagwire's Elite Sealed Shift Cable Kit is a must - have for both road and mountain bike enthusiasts. These white, ultra - slick uncoated cables offer excellent performance. The kit includes a polished inner cable and a continuous Slick - Lube liner. They protect your bike from dirt, water, and other contaminants without sacrificing top - level performance. The Elite Ultra - Slick polished uncoated inner cables and Slick - Lube liners significantly reduce friction. Grub seals on the liner ends keep out contaminants. Small parts are provided for installation on dropbar or flatbar bikes. There's enough housing for full - length runs on most bikes. The XEX housing is 30% lighter than traditional shift housing. The cable ends are compatible with SRAM and Shimano systems. Note that the 5.0mm shift housing and 1.9mm inner liner may not fit all frames and components.

Using this cable kit is straightforward. First, gather all the small parts included in the kit for your dropbar or flatbar bike. Remove the old cables and housing from your bike carefully. Then, install the new cables. Make sure to place the grub seals on the ends of the liners to keep dirt out. When installing, ensure that the cable ends are properly attached to your SRAM or Shimano components. As for maintenance, check the cables regularly for signs of wear or dirt. If you notice any dirt, you can clean the cables with a mild bike cleaner. Also, keep an eye on the friction level. If the shifting becomes less smooth, you might need to replace the cables or the housing. Remember, the 5.0mm shift housing and 1.9mm inner liner may not be compatible with all frames and components, so double - check before installation.
