Jagwire Mountain Pro Complete Brake Cable Kit - Black

These are clearly higher quality than standard cables and housing. Very easy to install and make a bit of a difference in braking response for mechanical brakes.

If you're buying this than you probably have a Poseidon bike with mechanical disc brakes. Let me just say that this item was the wrong time of brake end - this one had a cylinder end stop vs the mushroom cap type that you need to use for the gravel bike shifters. That being said they worked perfectly fine on my Poseidon Redwood - the Advent X shifters had enough room in the lever to accommodate the larger cap.Installation was pretty straight forward and includes everything you need to install one set of front and rear brakes. The front and rear brake lines are not pre-cut so you have to measure twice/cut once - luckily there was more than enough cable length for both brakes.As far as performance goes - its a noticeable improvement to braking performance that i'd say it's good enough. It's probably not going to every throw you over the bars when you clamp down on the brifters but it will lock up the rear wheel. For the price of the kit i would take this over spending much more on hydro-mechanical disc calipers - you'd need both for these and the new calipers to work and at that point you're close to spending the same amount of money for hydraulic groupset.As far as why they work well it's hard to tell if it's actually the linear strands in the housing itself or if its because I removed all the stupid stoppers/connectors on the stock setup. The issue with poor performance on the stock setup seems to do with the amount of compression in the line that's not translating to the calipers themselves. Either way it's cheap enough that you should do this upgrade if nothing else.

This is not a review of the cables themselves, they're standard Jagwire quality. I was very happy that all of the packaging was made of materials that can go in mixed paper at the dump. I wish more companies had the health of the environment where their products will be used in mind when designing retail packaging (no one wants to ride a bike through a plastic strewn landscape).

Kids ripped the brake line off my older mountain bike. This kit was everything I needed to replace the cabling on the bike with older vbrakes. Very happy

Worth the cost!

Very well made, and delivers what it was designed for.I personally didn't notice a huge difference in performance though.

Converted my mountain bike to an e-bike and needed to update the brakes. The new brakes came with some cheap cable, so I upgraded to the Jagwire and man, what a difference. So smooth, you can really tell the difference in quality. One note, be sure to use proper bike cable cutters for these, using run of the mill wire cutters will leave you with a bit of a mess.

I’ve used these cables on bikes I’ve built for myself. The polishing on the inner cables really do improve function - almost no discernible friction.
