5mm x 50ft Black Lined Bicycle Brake Cable Housing Key benefits - Reliable braking performance: high-carbon steel internal coil maintains stiffness and shape for consistent cable routing and predictable brake feel. - Smooth, low-friction operation: lined design reduces cable friction for crisper braking response and less wear on inner cables. - Long-lasting and flexible: quality rubber outer sheath is colorfast, pliable, and sturdy for easy routing and resistance to weather and abrasion. - One roll, many uses: 50ft continuous length lets you cut custom pieces for any bike setup, avoiding multiple short sections and extra joins. What it is and how it helps - Function: protective outer housing for brake cables that keeps inner cable aligned, reduces friction, and transfers force reliably from lever to caliper. - Material and construction: rubber outer hose with a lined bore and a high-carbon internal steel coil for improved stiffness and durability. - Size and fit: 5mm diameter housing fits standard bicycle brake cable systems; 50ft (approx. 15.2 m) roll provides ample length for multiple bikes or full replacements. Compatibility - Designed for wide bicycle use: suitable for MTB, mountain bikes, road bikes, folding bikes, and recreational cycling setups. - Works with standard mechanical brake systems that accept 5mm housing. Practical use scenarios - Replace worn or cracked brake housing on a commuter or folding bike to restore smooth braking and safer rides. - Build custom-length brake runs for a mountain bike or touring setup where precise routing and minimal joins reduce friction and maintenance. - Upgrade older brake housings on a road bike to a stiffer, lined housing for improved modulation and cable longevity. Notes - Cut to required length for your bike; use appropriate ferrules and end fittings per your brake system.
