PTFE Brake Cable & Housing

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This cable set is a big improvement over standard stainless. The PTFE coating makes the initial pull lighter and the modulation smoother, especially on long descents. The included housing is well-lubricated and resists compression, which helps maintain consistency over time."

The Road PTFE Brake Cable & Housing Set enhances mechanical rim-brake performance through reduced friction and improved lever response. Its stainless-steel inner cable is coated in PTFE to minimize drag inside the housing, generating a smoother pull and more refined modulation during hard braking or wet-weather rides. The compressionless 5mm housing is pre-lubricated to maintain consistent performance across complex routing paths, reducing the sponginess that often develops with aging cables.

With two cable lengths and dual housing segments, the kit accommodates modern road geometry and external or partially internal routing. Stainless construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for high-mileage road bikes, training platforms, or upgraded mechanical systems. By improving cable glide and limiting housing deformation, this set delivers reliable braking precision and better long-term performance for any mechanically actuated rim-brake setup.
