Shimano Optislick Derailleur Cable and Housing Set Black, One Size

Totally addressed the sticky shifting issues I was having with my road bike ... swapping cables is surprisingly simple. Wish I hadn't waited so long! I love the quality of Shimano parts.

Smoth fast action, great cable

Great replacement cable and from a reputable brand, I used this part to replace the broken speed lever cable on my Kona bike and got my bike working again.Inexpensive and reliable easy to install and adjust by yourself.To do this job I recommend you the 4th Hand tool (look up here for Enzo Bicycle Professional Brake Shifter Gear Cable Caliper Tension Puller Plier Tool) and this will help you a lot to get the required adjustments done.

I recently pieced together a bike with a 10-speed Shimano 105 derailleur (RD-5700) and it skipped some gears when shifting. I replaced the cable with this after researching and it worked like a charm. I also thought it was only enough for one derailleur but there are two cables and enough housing to do the front too!

You maybe asking yourself if the extra cost of these over regular cables is worth it. I have say in my opinion 100% yes. These make a real difference. Shifting is noticeably improved especially down shifting. These are the only cables I am going to use going forward.

This cable works well. It has low friction and seems durable, but if your bike has drop bars and bar-end shifters you might not have enough housing to complete one bike. You would think they could include enough housing to cover the worst-case scenario.The length of the inner cable is fine

Typical high quality genuine Shimano parts!

Nice ultegra optislick chain, probably the cheapest I'll ever find it.Ordering bike parts on here is like playing the lotto. Sometimes you win, usually you don't. But one thing is for sure, you won't get exactly what you ordered.
