Review: Drop bar disc brakes - This replacement housing was recommended to me when I was considering brake upgrades for my new Poseidon Redwood. On my old gravel bike I have Tektro Hy/RD cable-actuated hydraulic brakes, and I found those brakes to be more than adequate for road, trail, and gravel. Those are at least $150 though, and this bike takes flat-mount brakes, the no-name copies I found are all post mount. I was very hesitant, especially since this costs so much and comes with more than one bike's worth of housing, but went with the crowd wisdom, and boy were they right! I've gone from pulling the lever to the bar with inadequate engagement, to full engagement in only a quarter of the distance. For drop bar disc brake bikes, you have to unwrap the bars to remove the old housing. On the rear brake, I frayed the cable and had to order a new cable. I should have gotten the new $8 Jagwire brake cables anyway as they were noticeably slicker. I also damaged my bar tape, I'll replace it soon with new tape and some gel pads to go underneath, but I can mend it with electrical tape for now. Getting the cable inside of the housing was a bit of an issue for me, another reason to get new cables to go with the housing as the ends won't be frayed. I reamed out the housing with a paper clip and twisted the old brake cables in with 50% success. One brake cable frayed and while I got it in the housing, it unwound and created a lot of friction and required replacement. This comes with end caps and mid caps, not sure the proper term for them. I cut the housing with a dremel style thin cut-off wheel. You can use cable cutters or a hacksaw or probably other things I haven't thought of. Overall this product improved the brakes' functionality by like 400% and I'm very pleased to have found it. I considered upgrading my other gravel bike, but it occurs to me that the cable housing for that bike might be fine. It might just be this bike with the cheap housing. If you have a bike with disc brakes and you're sure the feel at the lever should be less spongey, this might be right for you. It sure helped me out. Review: Great product - This compressionless housing really makes a difference. I am using TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes on an internal routing frame, thus the run of the rear brake housing is over 6 ft long. The difference in feel when compared with the regular Jagwire housing is not subtle. But, it's not a must have either, for the regular Jagwire does the job as well, you only have to squeeze more and absorb some spongyness inherent with the regular brake housing. I was able to lock the rear wheel with all my 200lbs on the saddle with it too. But the compressionless one feels better, the pads bite sooner and stronger. Braking late is more fun and the confidence in braking is stronger. I have aero carbon handlebar with internal routing and the flex terminators Jagwire recommends were not needed, didn't use any of them (they were a separate purchase). This compressuoless housing is stiffer, but not that much stiffer when compared with the regular Jagwire housing. All-in-all, very happy with the purchase. The product is great, the upgrade it brings is palpable and the price is great. ## Features - Item Package Quantity: 1 - Model Number: Kevlar Reinforced - Package Weight: 521.63 grams - Colour: black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KXQIY8Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #94,485 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #61 in Bike Brake Cables & Housing | | Brand | Jagwire | | Brand Name | Jagwire | | Color | Black - Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (79) | | Date First Available | June 12, 2014 | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04715910037140 | | Included Components | INCLUDED: 10 Meters of slick-lube lined compressionless brake housing, 20 black alloy lined end caps and 10 black POP end caps | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 10 x 2 x 10 inches | | Item Length | 10 Meters | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 10.31 x 9.8 x 1.38 inches | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Jagwire | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Name | Brake Housing | | Model Year | 2014 | | Nominal Wall Thickness | 2.5 millimeters | | Number of Items | 1 | | Outside Diameter | 5 millimeters Millimeters | | Package Weight | 0.46 Kilograms | | Part Number | JA7794 | | Size | 10 m | | Specific Uses For Product | Cycling activities | | Sport Type | Cycling | | Style | Brake Housing | | Suggested Users | Cycling | | Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jagwire - **Color:** Black - Black - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 2 Years - **Item Length:** 10 Meters - **Item Weight:** 7.2 ounces - **Manufacturer:** Jagwire - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Nominal Wall Thickness:** 2.5 millimeters - **Outside Diameter:** 5 millimeters Millimeters - **Specific Uses For Product:** Cycling activities ## Images ![Pro 5 mm KEB-SL Compressionless Bicycle Brake Housing | Kevlar-Reinforced, Slick-Lube Inner Liner, 10 Meters, Multiple Colors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i6dTVWGML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drop bar disc brakes *by C***R on April 6, 2024* This replacement housing was recommended to me when I was considering brake upgrades for my new Poseidon Redwood.
