An alternative to traditional compressionless housing, this system is made of nesting alloy pieces that protect the liner. Although this housing is typically more expensive, it has several advantages including increased flexibility, reduced weight and increased durability. Both shift and brake housings use identical Slick-Lube liners and interconnecting alloy pieces.

Jagwire sealed systems, available only in DIY kits, include liners that run continuously from the lever to the brake or derailleur. This protects the cable and housing from dirt, mud or anything else that can cause friction. But because the liner runs the full length of the cable, Ultra-Slick polished inner cables are used to keep friction to a minimum.

A performance upgrade to coiled steel, this compressionless housing starts with a similar construction to LEX shift housing that reduces weight by 30%. A woven Kevlar^® layer is added to give the housing the strength and flexibility necessary for braking applications.

Linear strands of steel are used to encircle the Slick-Lube Liner creating a compressionless ring. This delivers responsive, precise, crisp performance necessary in shift applications.

Linear strands of flexible steel are used to encircle the Slick-Lube Liner creating a low-compression ring. This makes it ideal for use with internal dropper seatposts with tight bends in the routing.

No-nonsense, OE-quality brake housing using high carbon coiled steel wrapped around an inner liner. This coiled steel structure will allow some compression, but the high-quality, high carbon steel used limits the amount.
