Reviews over the

Jagwire Universal Sport Brake

Very good cable set I have been driving with this brand for years. I am very satisfied with it.

Pros & Cons

For once, not two excessively long front and rear brake cables but one very long, high-quality cable

Pros & Cons

Very good for Brompton

Pros & Cons

Attractive, easy-to-install hardware

Pros & Cons

Great quality and easy to fit but the cable ends are slightly bigger than standard shimano ones so don’t always fit in cable stops.

Pros & Cons

Good quality.

Pros & Cons

Complete set with manual. Very user-friendly and looks good. The caps did not fit everywhere on my retro bike frame, but otherwise very satisfied with it. The cardboard packaging is also very good.

Pros & Cons

Super handy complete set. 1 long and 1 short brake cable with the different ends. I used these on my course bike for less weather. Only 1 drawback: the end caps are quite large in diameter so they did not fit in the brake levers of my Shimano 105 5800. You do need really good pliers to cut these very hard cables and housing. I used the BBB Cycling Fastcut BTL-16 for this + a needle to push the liner back open a bit. Count on an hour of tinkering to install both the Jagwire Universal Sport Brake set and the Jagwire 2x Sport Shift Derailleur Cable Set.

Pros & Cons

Quality product

Pros & Cons

Nice cable kit, price acceptable, not too much marketing chatter, complete and nicely finished, good packaging also without a mountain of unnecessary plastic. Less I found that the brake and switch kits were not properly available in equal colours other than black, white and grey.

I clearly noticed that the cables brake more smoothly than my old cables. Fine set and plenty of inner and outer cables.
