Why replace your brake cable?

Brake cables stretch, corrode and fray over time – especially on bikes ridden all year round. A worn cable makes braking feel spongy and needs constant readjustment. A fresh inner cable restores a crisp, direct lever feel.

Who is it for?

  • Cable brake servicing. Mechanical disc brakes or road caliper brakes operated by drop bar levers.
  • Workshops and home mechanics. A spare on the shelf.

Frequently asked questions

Does the microSHIFT mushroom head brake cable fit flat bar brake levers?

Flat bar levers usually take a barrel (pear) head cable. This cable has a mushroom head for drop bar levers.

Should I replace the housing too?

If the housing is kinked, cracked or the cable feels rough when you pull it, replace the housing together with the inner cable for the best brake feel.

Can I use it as a shift cable?

No. microSHIFT drop bar gear hub shifters need the cylinder head shift cable, which is available separately.

About microSHIFT

microSHIFT (AD-II Engineering Inc.) has been designing and refining bicycle drivetrains since 1999 – shifters, derailleurs, cassettes and cranksets for mountain, gravel, utility and road bikes. Its engineering and manufacturing teams work with their own specialised machinery and facilities in Taiwan and China.

Its philosophy, "technology for all", is that useful features should not be reserved for the most expensive groupsets: reliable products, packed with as many practical features as possible. That is why microSHIFT is one of the few makers of integrated drop bar shifters for Shimano internal gear hubs.
