Cable, sheath and accessories road

Cables and housing are essential for the proper functioning of your road bike. They ensure smooth gear shifts and responsive braking. Regular maintenance and the use of appropriate components help keep your bike in good condition, whether you're a casual rider or a competitor. At Cybervelo, we offer a range of cables, housing, and accessories suitable for all road bikes, featuring brands like Shimano and Sram.

How to choose your cables and housing?

Choosing cables and housing depends on your bike type and needs. For mechanical drivetrains, stainless steel cables are recommended for their durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring precise gear changes. Reinforced housing with a low-friction inner lining allows for smoother and more durable shifting. For brakes, specific cables, often more robust, are designed to provide quick response and effective braking.

2024 Trends

In 2024, materials and coatings are evolving to reduce friction and extend the lifespan of components. While hydraulic brake systems are becoming more common, cables remain a practical option for those who prefer easy maintenance. Accessories like reinforced housing end caps and cable ties also help improve the reliability and longevity of your drivetrain system.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I replace my cables and housing?
  It is advisable to replace cables and housing every 6 to 12 months, depending on use and riding conditions. If you notice a drop in gear shifting precision or less responsive braking, it's a sign that they need to be replaced.

• What is the difference between standard and reinforced housing?
  Reinforced housing offers better protection against the elements and reduces internal friction, resulting in smoother shifting and extended lifespan.
