SHIMANO Schaltzug-Set MTB Edelstahl Y60098021

Nice length of cable and outer sheath.

Wish I'd swapped the outers earlier.. been having real issues shifting, got a new derailleur as the old one took and battering and spent hours trying get the shifting working, indexing , high low and settings but it just wouldn't play ball.. Didn't even think the cable casing was adding to my problems..finally got the kit, cut to size using some tin snips, opened the casing holes with a pointy driver bit to ensure they were round again like in the videos.. tension to the new cable, tighten the bolt and up and down the gears it went flawlessly.. no sticking or jumping.. very happy with this kit.. the ferrules have white o ring seals in them to stop crap getting inside the outers.. don't know what the long ferrule section is for but doesn't apply to my setup, plenty of bits in the kit to do front and rear derailleur..

Purchased to replace crusty front and rear derailleur operating cables as part of work to freshen up an old 90's 21 gear mountain bike - this did the job for me.Two cable inners plus two cable ends. Looks like it has enough cable outer (210cm) and associated ferroules (8 cable casing ends ) to do pretty much any standard bike. The cable casing (4mm - looked a bit smaller than the original but but fitted fine) is prelubed on the inside with low friction coatings, so not supposed require additional greasing. The cable inner is stainless steel so the exposed lengths shouldn't rust (unlike my admittedly very old originals).Cable inners are about 180cm and 210cm.make sure your wire cutters are decent quality and up to the job, you'll also need a cable crimper (often come as part of a wire cutter) spanners/hex/torx of the right sizes for your bike fittings.There are no instructions, but this job should be easy enough to do, there are plenty of good videos online for guidance, but essentially, you'll need to remove the existing casings and use as a template for cutting the replacement lengths from the new casing.Less than 20 mins work if you know what you're doing, have a good work area and the right tools. For crusty fittings, it's worth a few sprays of WD40 or similar the night before to avoid painful removal struggles.

Good quality cables.

Easy to install. For internal frame cables use the thin plastic hose method, worked first time.

Extremely well made. However, don't make the mistake I made. There are long ones for the rear mech and short ones for the front. I had already cut a long one shorter for the front before I realised. I had to get another long one!!

All good. I needed to raise the handlebars using a fork expender so had to increase the length of the gear cables on my mountain bike. It took a couple of hours to completely change the outer housing and inner cables for front and back gears and set everything up again. The gear shifting is like new again and totally smooth and accurate. This kit contains everything you need for the job except tools - I used good quality wire cutters, allen keys, screw drivers, pliers and an adjustable wrench and don't forget some tight fitting tube for the actual cable if the cables run inside the frame, as it makes swapping everything over a breeze - see YouTube for the technique.

Like all Shimano stuff, it just works.
