FAQs
Is this cable compatible with mountain bike brakes?
No, this cable features a road-specific head designed for Campagnolo road brake levers. It is not compatible with standard mountain bike lever anchors.
Can I use this for both front and rear brakes?
Yes, the 1600mm length is sufficient for both front and rear applications on most standard road bicycles.
Do I need to lubricate the cable before installation?
Applying a very thin layer of high-quality light grease or dry lubricant can improve smoothness, though it is not strictly required.
Does this package include the outer housing?
No, this is for the inner brake cable only. Outer housing must be purchased separately.
How do I prevent the end of the cable from fraying after I cut it?
Always use a proper cable crimp (ferrule) at the end of the cable once it is secured to the brake caliper.
Troubleshooting
Brake feels spongy or slow to return
Check that the cable housing ends are seated properly and that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the cable path.
Cable is fraying during installation
Use high-quality dedicated bike cable cutters rather than household pliers to ensure a clean, sharp cut.
Cable head does not sit flush in the lever
Verify that you are using a genuine Campagnolo lever body and that the cable head is fully seated before applying tension.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures exact OEM fit for Campagnolo braking systems
- High-tensile strength for reliable stopping power
- Generous 1600mm length accommodates diverse bike sizes
- Reduces cable friction for lighter lever feel
Cons
- Requires dedicated cable cutters for a clean, non-frayed cut
- Not intended for non-Campagnolo specific road lever designs
- Requires cable end caps for finishing the installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and a sharp set of professional cable cutters to ensure the end of the wire does not fray. Begin by shifting your brake lever to the neutral position, removing the old cable, and threading the Campagnolo head into the designated seat within the lever. Once installed at the brake caliper, tighten the anchor bolt to the manufacturer's recommended torque. To maintain longevity, apply a light coat of bicycle-specific grease to the cable before sliding it into the housing. Always finish the cut end with an aluminum cable crimp to prevent the wire from unraveling.
