Japanese-made Nissen gear/shift cable outer housing in clear gold, with a stainless-steel coil under the outer coating and a polyethylene inner liner that keeps the shift action noticeably lighter.

Highlights

• Stainless-steel outer coil resists rust so the housing keeps its colour and doesn't seize
• Narrower coil profile than standard housing, for tidier, tighter cable routing
• Polyethylene inner liner reduces friction at the lever or shifter
• Outer diameter 4 mm, for 1.2 mm inner wire
• Made in Japan

Build & feel

Description The Nissen cable has stainless outer coil helps prevent rust keeping your cables looking fresh and lasting longer than standard housing. The coil material is also shorter in width than other standard coils, so you can achieve more elegant curves in your routing pursuits. The housing includes a polyethylene inner liner and it can help to make the shift action significantly lighter. The outer diameter is 4mm and you can use 1.2mm inner wire. Length : 3m (which should be more than enough for most bikes with traditional mechanical front and rear derarileur mechanisms). Made in Japan.

Compatibility & fit

Sized for standard gear/shift cable systems: outer diameter 4 mm, matched to 1.2 mm inner wire. Supplied as a 3 m length, enough to house most bikes' front and rear runs from one length. Tune Cycles' workshop fits and routes new brake and gear cables as a separate service, and can advise on the right housing length and cap for your bike.
