Bike Shifter Cables & Housing. Shifter cables and housing are what connects the shift levers to their respective derailleurs. Shifters use a 1.2mm diameter shift cable and a 4mm diameter compressionless shift housing. They might seem uninteresting at first, but the type of cable and housing you use can affect your bike's shifting performance.

Brake and Shift Housing. Jagwire sealed systems, available only in DIY kits, include liners that run continuously from the lever to the brake or derailleur. This protects the cable and housing from dirt, mud or anything else that can cause friction. But because the liner runs the full length of the cable, Ultra-Slick polished inner cables are ...

Aug 27, 2019 . Shifter housing is constructed to compress and elongate as little as possible with shifter cable tension change (while shifting up and down). But it can not take large force – pull cable strong enough and it will split! Brake housing is made to sustain very high cable tension forces without splitting, but slight compression is not as detrimental.

Shifter cables and housing are what connects the shift levers to their respective derailleurs. Shifters use a 1.2mm diameter shift cable and a 4mm diameter compressionless shift housing. They might seem uninteresting at first, but the type of cable and housing you use can affect your bike's shifting performance.
Use ends caps or ferules at the ends of housing when ever possible. Woven or braided-type housing may be used for both brake housing and shift housing. It is recommended to lubricate inside the housing when the cable is installed.
Thanks to the friction-reducing OPTISLICK coating, this cables set is an excellent option for riders who often find themselves pedaling in inclement weather. Finally, Shimano's DURA-ACE Polymer Shift Cable Set is the absolute best shift cable and housing upgrade available for your road bike.
Common way of routing shifter housing is along the near side of the frame (relative to the shifter). This alternative method uses crossing. Pictures 7 and 8 explain it better:

“This means that the force required to perform a shift is lower, and each shift will occur more seamlessly.” Old shift cables and housing also cause sluggish or delayed shifts. When you shift to a smaller cog, the derailleur spring is trying to pull the cable to the next index point in the shifter.
One step up is Shimano’s OPTISLICK Shift Cable Set, which utilizes a stainless steel inner cable and receives Shimano’s OPTISLICK coating to reduce friction. The housing is the same pre-lubricated SP41 as the stainless steel set, but the housing ferrules with the OPTISLICK set feature improved seals.
Typically after really gnarly conditions, that could compromise the integrity of the shifting and we will replace cables as any degradation in shift performance can translate to poorer race performance. It’s simply not worth it to not replace the cables, especially with how cheap cables are relative to every other wearable component.
