FAQs
Is this product the complete gear cable?
No, this is the outer gear cable casing only. You will need a compatible inner gear cable, ferrules, and possibly end caps to complete the installation.
What length outer casing do I need?
The length needed depends on your bicycle's frame size and cable routing. The 680mm is one of several available lengths. Measure your existing cable run or consult a bike mechanic for the best fit.
Can I use this with Shimano shifters?
This outer casing is designed for Campagnolo systems. While some compatibility might exist, it is best used with genuine Campagnolo shifters and inner cables for optimal performance.
How do I install the outer casing?
Cut the casing to the required length using a cable cutter. Install ferrules on both ends. Route the casing through the frame stops, ensuring no sharp bends. Then, insert the inner cable and connect it to your derailleur.
Is the casing pre-lubricated?
Yes, the Campagnolo Ultra-Shift Outer Gear Cable casing is pre-lubricated for easier installation and smooth cable operation.
What is the main benefit of this specific casing?
The main benefit is its low-friction design combined with Campagnolo's precision engineering, which ensures exceptionally smooth and reliable gear shifting.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or sticky gear shifting
Ensure the outer casing is not kinked or damaged. Check that the inner cable moves freely within the casing. Clean and re-lubricate the inner cable if necessary, or consider replacing the outer casing if it shows signs of wear.
Cable doesn't move smoothly
Verify that the correct type of Campagnolo inner cable is being used with the outer casing. Ensure all ferrules are properly seated and that the casing is routed correctly without any sharp bends.
Difficulty cutting the outer casing to length
Use a high-quality bicycle cable cutter specifically designed for this purpose. Ensure a clean, square cut to avoid damaging the casing interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is the outer gear cable casing only. It requires a compatible Campagnolo inner gear cable, cable cutters, ferrules, and potentially end caps for a complete installation. Ensure the casing is cut to the correct length for your frame's cable routing to avoid kinks or excessive slack. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with bicycle cable replacement.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with Campagnolo Ultra-Shift systems. While it is the outer casing, it is intended to work with Campagnolo inner cables and shifters. It is generally compatible with most bicycle frames that use standard cable routing.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the outer casing for any signs of damage, such as cracks or fraying. Keep the exterior clean and dry. While pre-lubricated, periodic cleaning and re-lubrication of the inner cable (if accessible) can further enhance longevity. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the casing during installation and use.
