Good cable, but...
No complaints as to the quality of this item. However, my bike requires 4 sleeves for cables (two for front gear cable and two sleeves for the rear gear cable), while this package can only be used to replace 3 sleeves as there's not enough ferrules (there are 6, I need 8). So, I had to buy them separately. No issues apart from this one.

I just saved around £100 with these £7.99 cables!!
Great value proper OEM product in proper Shimano packaging. Great value for money. Comes with 1 full length OEM outer and 2 full length OEM inners, plus 6 spare end caps and also 2 cable-ends for crimping on. Totally recommend the seller The Woolly Hat Shop also - I ordered them on standard delivery Thursday afternoon, and got them pronto tonto in the post on Saturday morning. Took me 2 mins to fit them, (thanks to the excellent "how to" videos on You Tube from Global Cycling Network). Tip - make sure you have some proper cable snippers - I tried using pliers, and they just fray the end of the cables, and won't cut. I ended up using tin-snips, which worked a treat - if you use pliers, you will be cross, because your lovely new cables will be in a frayed mess before you can blink. Tip #2 - if your cables run inside the bike frame, you run the risk of "losing" the cable within the frame. My job actually took A LOT more than 2 mins - because I spent about 20 mins trying to fish the cable out of the frame and route it properly. To avoid this make sure to get some thin tubing and thread over the old cable to get to the opening at the top, pushing it up inside the bike frame and then out the top - and then tape it in place so you can then push the new cable through that and it automatically follows the same route as the old cable. Tip #3 - check the exact spec of your shifters so you make sure you know where to thread and unthread the cables at the handlebar end. I looked at the website I bought the bike from, (Evans Cycles), and like most stores it shows the exact spec of the shifters fitted - Mine are the new Shimano hydraulic brakes with cable shifters, (very nice BTW), but the cables run through the front of the shifters to avoid the hydraulic reservoir - took me a while to find them - I did so by typing the product spec, (RS505 in my case), in to the Shimano website - and the full fitting guide is on there, showing you where to run the cables. A really nice touch !!! I just saved around £100 with these £7.99 cables - so I treated myself to one of those Amazon Alexis Echos !!

Qualité prix au rendez-vous
Utiliser pour la restauration d'un VTT. Le kit est complet: Gaines, câbles, embouts tout y est. J'ai découper la gaine à la bonne longueur avec une meuleuse. C'est impeccable La qualité Shimano est au rendez-vous. Je recommande
