CEX

CEX - coiled steel housing with non-lubed liner

Coiled Steel, Non-Lubed

Quality, low-cost brake housing using coiled steel wrapped around an inner non-lubed liner. The combination of low cost and long-lasting performance makes it ideal for entry-level bike service.

GAS

GAS - pre-stretched, slick galvanized steel spiral-bound cables

Slick Galvanized or Stainless Steel

An upgrade from basic cables, these galvanized and stainless steel strands are pre-stretched, then extruded through a die that removes the rough edges resulting in a smooth surface that reduces friction along the length of the cable. These cables are the most popular choice for riders balancing performance, durability and cost. The stainless steel option offers greater resistance to corrosion.
