The kit includes the oil-lubed outer housing, two stainless Teflon-coated inner brake cables, a set of brake outer caps, and end caps, giving you a complete replacement for both wheels' brake cabling on one road bike. Everything you need for the job is in the one pack, so there is no separate trip needed for caps or housing.

The Teflon coating is bonded to the cable and lasts through normal use, though like any cable, dust and grit that get past the housing over months of riding can gradually reduce how smooth it feels. Keeping the housing ends capped and clean, and avoiding pressure-washing directly into the cable entry points, helps the coating stay effective for longer.

Yes, this is a standard mechanical cable and housing setup that works with both rim brake callipers and mechanical (cable-actuated) disc brakes on road bikes, since both use the same type of pull-cable system. It is not suitable for hydraulic disc brakes, which run sealed fluid lines instead of a mechanical cable, so confirm your brake type before ordering if you are unsure.

If you want the lightest possible lever feel with no extra grease or lube application on your part, a Teflon pre-lubed cable is worth it, since the coating is applied evenly across the full length rather than a surface layer you brush on yourself. If budget is the priority and you don't mind lubricating the cable during installation, our standard unlubed stainless steel brake cable delivers similar long-term durability at a lower price.

For a bike ridden regularly, replacing brake cables every one to two years, or sooner if you notice a heavier lever, fraying at the ends, or rust spots, keeps braking reliable. Riders in coastal or monsoon-heavy parts of India may want to check and replace cables a little more often, since humidity accelerates internal corrosion even with a protective coating in place.

Yes, this is a genuine, quality-checked LEBYCLE cable set. Dispatch typically takes up to 3 working days from order confirmation, and total delivery time after that depends on your location and pin code, so we cannot promise an exact day count upfront.
