Cable and sheath

The cables and housing on a city bike are designed to provide efficient braking and smooth shifting during everyday urban commuting. Brake and shift cables are typically strong and durable, providing reliable stopping power and precise shifting in all situations. Housing is often made of flexible yet durable material to protect the cables from the elements while allowing for a smooth and progressive shift action. Some housing designs also feature special internal coatings to reduce friction and improve shift responsiveness, providing optimal control for urban commuting. Whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or cruising around town, quality cables and housing are essential for a safe and enjoyable city biking experience.
