- Built for long-term use: outer hose made of colorfast, pliable rubber resists aging and stays flexible over time, so the housing holds up through regular riding and storage. - High-strength core: spiral steel wire construction delivers strong tensile strength while remaining flexible; designed to resist abrasion and maintain shape under braking and steering forces. - Built-in lubrication: inner PVC tube acts as a low-friction lining, keeping the steel wire and inner cable in good condition. This reduces the need for frequent manual lubrication and saves maintenance time. - Lightweight and responsive: the housing is lightweight and designed to transmit brake motion sensitively, helping maintain reliable braking performance. - Intended application and compatibility: designed specifically for bicycle brake cable housing; use where standard bike brake housings are required. Key benefits — why you need it - Reliable braking feel: high-strength spiral core plus low-friction inner tube preserves smooth cable movement and consistent brake response. - Lower maintenance: integrated PVC lubricant lining reduces friction and slows wear on inner cables, cutting down routine upkeep. - Durable in real use: rubber outer hose and abrasion-resistant construction protect internal components and extend service life. Practical use scenarios - Replacement during tune-up: swap worn or cracked brake housings with this durable unit to restore smooth, predictable braking. - New build or upgrade: install when assembling a bike or upgrading brake components to improve cable routing and responsiveness. - All-weather commuter maintenance: for daily riders who need a reliable, low-maintenance brake housing that tolerates frequent use and exposure. Materials and performance summary - Outer: colorfast, pliable rubber for durability and flexibility - Core: spiral steel wires for high strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance - Inner: PVC tube that serves as a lubricant lining to protect the steel core and inner cable - Function: lightweight brake cable housing providing sensitive, reliable brake actuation on bicycles Compatibility note - Designed for use on bicycles as brake cable housing.
