Its a great set of cables and housing except its not really good for a disc brake setup the front cable is for road rim brakes and falls short for disk brakes.
Need to add a bit more. I had a really hard time installing these cables internally in Carbon Aero Handle bars,. There is a ferrule that connects the normal brake cable housing to a more flexible silver cable housing that goes to the brake levers. If is extremely difficult to get in or out of internal cable carbon handle bars without it getting stuck or the cable housing separately when the ferrule comes loose.
