SRAM SlickWire Shift Cable

Yes, this cable is designed to be universal for most SRAM and Shimano-compatible shifting systems. Its 2300mm length provides enough slack to accommodate the routing needs of both road and mountain bike frames.

No, this is a standalone shift cable. You will need to purchase the housing and ferrules separately if you are replacing your entire cable system.

As a general rule, you should replace your shift cables once a year or whenever you notice increased friction, fraying at the anchor bolt, or sluggish gear indexing. If you ride in wet or muddy conditions frequently, you may need to replace them more often to maintain crisp shifting.

While alloy steel is durable, it is not completely immune to corrosion over time. We recommend applying a light coating of cable lubricant during installation to protect the steel and ensure smooth movement through your housing.

No, you should never use a shift cable for your brakes. Shift cables are thinner and designed for the lower tension requirements of derailleurs, whereas brake cables are thicker and built to handle the high-force demands of stopping your bike.
