Supercharge your Bike's Braking and Shifting Performance
Protect your bike's inner workings from the elements with the patented Gore Ride-On cable systems from W.L. Gore & Associates, the same folks who bring you the well-known Gore-Tex material used in outerwear!
The cable systems are sold as a pair of brake cable sets, or a pair of derailleur (shifter) cable sets, including the inner cables, housing, ferrules, and end caps. The pre-stretched cables are coated with Gore's patented ultra-durable, low-friction material and are protected from harsh conditions on the bike by a continuous liner and a GRUB(tm) seal.
Compatible with mountain and road bikes, and with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo components, the Gore Ride-On Cables provide smooth, easy braking and quick, precise shifting for many times the life span of traditional cables. A couple of the CC staff have installed these cables on their own bikes, and give them a big thumbs up!
$64.99 per set; get yours now while you can take advantage of our Spring Training Sale 15% discount! | |
