Dura-Ace BC-9000 Polymer-Coated Brake Cable Set Black

The Shimano Dura-Ace BC-9000 Polymer-Coated Brake Cable Set in black is a top - notch choice for road cyclists. It's a Dura - Ace grade SLR - EV road brake cable set. The polymer - coated inner cable significantly cuts down sliding resistance, enabling lighter and faster operation. Made of stainless steel, it offers excellent anti - rust protection. The low - friction polymer material on the cable might cause some slippage at the cable fixing bolt after the initial pre - stretch, but don't worry, the fur - like material from the polymer coating won't impact performance. It comes pre - lubed with special polymer - compatible grease, ensuring smooth operation right out of the box.

Using this brake cable set is easy. First, install the cable set on your road bike following the standard brake cable installation process. When you start using it, you might notice a bit of slippage at the cable fixing bolt after the initial pre - stretch. Just check and readjust the bolt if needed. As for maintenance, since it's pre - lubed with special grease, you don't need to lubricate it frequently. But every few months or after a long and dirty ride, it's a good idea to wipe down the cable and housing to remove dirt and grime. Keep an eye on the anti - rust protection. If you ride in wet conditions often, make sure to dry the cable set thoroughly after each ride to maintain its performance and longevity.
