Shimano 105 5800/Tiagra 4700 Road Gear Cable Set in Black

Shimano 105 5800/Tiagra 4700 Road Gear Cable Set

Slicker cables = slicker gear shifts. That's why you should consider Shimano Optislick cables.

Optimised for Shimano 105 and Tiagra road bike shifters, these cables would make a superb upgrade for near any gear shifter / derailleur combo.

Shimano Optislick cables are a big improvement over standard cables for the following reasons:

• The Optislick stainless steel inner cable has a permanent slick coating electrically applied so you can be sure this cable will slide smoothly throughout its long life.
• The Shimano SP 41 outer cable is axial wound, so it's stiffer than regular brake cable housing so it resists compression - again to facilitate slicker gear shifts.
• The outer casing is lined with a polymer sheath, then lubricated internally along its entire length with low-friction silicone grease to further reduce cable friction.

Supplied with all you should need to re-cable front and rear gears, this pack includes

• Two 2,100mm long x 1.2 mm thick Optislick inner wires.
• 1,700mm SP41 outer casing for a complete bike
• End caps and rubber shields.

You almost certainly also need cable cutters to fit cables neatly.
