FAQs

What is OPTISLICK technology?

OPTISLICK is an electrical coating applied to the inner wires, creating a smooth surface that reduces friction and improves shifting performance.

What is included in the Shimano Road Gear Cable Set?

The set includes 1.2 mm OPTISLICK inner wires (2 x 2100 mm), SP41 outer casing (1 x 1700 mm), and end caps.

Which gear systems is this cable set compatible with?

This cable set is designed for Shimano 105 5800 and Tiagra 4700 gear systems.

How do I cut the outer casing?

Use a sharp cable cutter to ensure a clean, square cut. This prevents the inner wire from snagging and ensures smooth shifting.

How often should I replace the cables?

Cables should be replaced when shifting performance degrades or if the cables show signs of wear, such as fraying or corrosion.

Can I use this set with other Shimano groupsets?

While the set might work, optimal performance is guaranteed for the specified 105 5800 and Tiagra 4700 gear systems. Compatibility with other groupsets is not guaranteed.

Troubleshooting

Shifting is not smooth or precise.

Check cable tension and adjust barrel adjusters. Ensure cables are routed correctly and free from obstructions. Lubricate cables if necessary.

Gears are skipping or not engaging properly.

Check derailleur alignment and adjust limit screws. Inspect the cable for fraying or damage and replace if needed.

Cables feel stiff or sticky.

Ensure the cable is not kinked or bent. Clean and lubricate the cable and housing. Replace the cable if the issue persists.
