The included cables with the Mountain Pro Brake Cable set are stainless steel that has a Teflon outer coating for reduced friction.

Is there enough length here to run both front and rear fully housed, on a size medium bike
A.
anwered by: mlewis
There's 3000mm of housing here, (almost 10 feet), so you should be able to do it.

Unfortunately they do not, the closest equivalent would be: http://www.treefortbikes.com/product/333222344751/739/Jagwire-Hyper-Brake-DIY.html
The Hyper does not come in Pink.

Can you use this for hydraulic brakes?
A.
anwered by: bhardy
No, since this is a cable brake set it will not function if paired with hydraulic brakes.

A GuestSmooth as silk, make brakes more responsive and ease the pull. Mechanical Brakes and V-Brakes.

agerweckThe difference between Jagwire Ripcord housing and standard cheap housing is night and day, especially if you have to run full housing all the way to the rear. It makes your brakes function so much smoother and crisper!
reviewed by:
earlysevenstrikelandWorks great! Long enough housing (at least for my frame) but needs more ferrules and longer sealing liner for frames with a lot of cable stops. Includes rubber cable covers.
reviewed by:
A GuestThese Ripcord cables are fantastic. The problem is none of my cutters would cut the housing without damaging it. Buy the specialized cutters.
reviewed by:
A GuestReally nice cables. Cut clean with a cable cutter tool, no need to clean up the ends. Happy with these cables and housing.
reviewed by:
migueljosetovarI am so glad I bought these cables. Braking has greatly improved not to mention the cables look awesome. Installation went pretty smooth. I had plenty of parts and housing for my K2 hardtail with V-brakes. Make sure you get a good pair of cutters before you start, such as the Park CN-10's.

A GuestWorks perfect and a good deal!
reviewed by:
berguwwGive brakes a very good feel but the outer housing where it rubs against another cable is starting to wear through.
reviewed by:
A GuestI've used Jagwire shifter housing/cable sets before so I was pretty sure what to expect from the brake set. I was not disappointed. I used it on my old Cannondale M500 build using Paul Components MotoBMX V-brakes. The front cable is only 18" long and it feels like a solid steel linkage! The back of course has more give but still better by far than anything else I have used. I agree that there could be more ferrules included in the pack, there were plenty for my runs but I could see needing more for different bikes. Great product.
