Honestly, I would first buy a loose cable and sheath and set screw.

- Willem, 3 December, 2022

Set screw is an Allen screw that is too sharp and when tightened too tight it breaks the cable and curls the broken wire from the rest of the cable and you can grab a new one. Adjusting gauge is nonsense, just grab tape measure and adjust 10 (7/8 speed) or 9 cm (4 speed) from the outer cable to the adjusting screw (put it in first gear first)

Pros & Cons

Everything you need in one package
Adjusting jig is very thin metal and bends
Adjusting screw breaks the cable, not too tight!

Great product, shame about missing end cap

- Stephan, 13 October, 2021

Switching was a crime. I discovered that the original cable was unravelling at the switch, so stuck. After fitting new cable, shifting worked very precisely again, better than long before. Supplied distance tool didn't work for my bike. In fourth gear just make sure the two yellow lines are together and then tighten.

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble
Fine cable
Shifts like clockwork again
Distance tool not suitable for my bike
No end cap to prevent fraying

Great value for money

- Bas, 24 November, 2020

All supplies to replace the cable were in the set. The only drawback is that the outer cable cannot be cut with standard pliers, you actually have to use special pliers. With a hacksaw and some patience, I managed to do this myself. After installation, the gears work fine again.

Pros & Cons

Good price/quality
outer cable cannot be cut to size with ordinary pliers
