Jagwire Mountain Pro complete mountain bike brake cable kit, Black, 5mm Kevlar housing, Slick‑Lube liners

Jagwire Mountain Pro Complete Brake Cable Kit in black is a full replacement brake line set with Kevlar‑reinforced 5mm housing, polished inner cables and Slick‑Lube liners engineered for precise, reliable mountain‑bike braking.

This all‑in kit supplies everything needed to refresh the braking system on most modern mountain bikes — long enough inner cables for front and rear runs, tough 5mm outer housing reinforced with Kevlar for durability, and high‑finish inner wires paired with low‑friction liners. It’s designed to reduce lever friction and deliver consistent modulation whether you’re rebuilding from scratch or upgrading worn stock lines.

What parts are included and will they fit my bike?

The set contains polished inner cables and 3 meters of 5mm Kevlar‑reinforced outer housing, sized inner cable lengths for typical front and rear routing, and components matched to common MTB brake systems. It’s built for compatibility with SRAM and Shimano mountain brake setups and covers most standard routing layouts.

• Inner cable lengths: 1500 mm for front, 2800 mm for rear
• Outer housing: 5 mm diameter, 3 m total length
• Works with SRAM and Shimano mountain brake levers and calipers
• Includes Slick‑Lube liners to minimize internal friction

How does the Kevlar‑reinforced housing help braking feel?

Kevlar strands embedded in the 5mm housing dramatically increase compression resistance so the outer shell resists squishing under load. That stability keeps the inner cable moving predictably, producing a firmer, crisper lever feel and more repeatable stopping power compared with standard, non‑reinforced housing.

• Reduced housing compression for consistent lever travel
• Improved modulation and control on technical descents
• Durable construction that withstands repeated clamping
• 3 m length allows cutting to fit custom routing needs

Why do polished cables and Slick‑Lube liners matter?

Smooth, high‑finish inner wires slide with less drag inside the housing; coupled with low‑friction Slick‑Lube liners, this combination reduces stiction and keeps response sharp. The result is lighter lever pull and quicker return, which helps riders modulate braking force more precisely.

• Polished cables minimize surface irregularities that cause stickiness
• Slick‑Lube liners lower friction and prolong cable life
• Better wet‑and‑dry performance due to reduced internal resistance
• Easier brake bed‑in and more consistent performance after installation

Can I install this kit myself and what tools are needed?

Yes — the kit is designed for home mechanics with basic cable‑routing experience. Typical tools required include cable cutters, a 4–6 mm Allen key set for lever/caliper hardware, a pair of pliers, and optionally a ruler or tape for measuring cable runs before cutting.

• Cutters that give clean cuts on inner cable and housing
• Allen keys for brake lever and caliper adjustments
• Cable end caps and ferrules included or available separately
• Simple bench or trail repair is possible with minimal tools

Who is this for? Riders who demand a reliable mechanical braking setup will benefit from this Jagwire kit: trail and enduro mountain bikers refreshing worn cables, mechanics building a bike from components, and commuters looking for a durable upgrade. It’s especially useful if you want firmer lever feel and lower cable friction without switching to hydraulic systems.
