FAQs
What material are these ferrules made of?
These are genuine Campagnolo steel brake cable ferrules.
How many ferrules are in a pack?
Each pack contains ten (10) Campagnolo brake cable ferrules.
Can I use these with Shimano or SRAM systems?
These ferrules are specifically designed for Campagnolo brake systems. While they may physically fit some cable housings from other brands, optimal compatibility and performance are guaranteed only with Campagnolo components.
What is the purpose of a brake cable ferrule?
A ferrule terminates the end of the brake cable housing, preventing it from fraying and ensuring a clean, secure fit into the brake lever and caliper. It also helps maintain the correct cable routing path.
Do I need ferrules for both ends of the cable housing?
Typically, ferrules are used at both the lever end and the caliper/derailleur end of the cable housing for brake systems.
Are these ferrules prone to rust?
Being made of steel, they have the potential to rust if exposed to prolonged moisture. Proper maintenance and keeping components dry will help prevent this.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit cable housing.
Ensure you are using the correct size cable housing. These are designed for standard brake cable housing diameters used by Campagnolo. If the housing is non-standard, a different type of ferrule may be required.
Cable housing seems loose after installation.
Ensure the ferrule is fully seated and flush against the lever or caliper body. Check that the cable housing itself is not damaged or deformed.
Brake lever feels inconsistent.
While not solely the fault of the ferrule, check that the ferrule is correctly installed and the cable housing is not kinked or frayed internally. A damaged ferrule can contribute to poor performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, slide one Campagnolo brake cable ferrule onto the end of your brake cable housing before inserting it into the brake lever or caliper. Ensure it sits flush and snug against the lever or caliper body. The ferrule should be firmly seated to prevent movement.
Compatibility: These ferrules are explicitly designed for all Campagnolo brake systems. While they may fit some other brands' cable housing due to standard sizing, their optimal performance is guaranteed with Campagnolo components.
Care: These ferrules require minimal care. Keep them clean during cable maintenance. If they become damaged or excessively worn, they should be replaced to maintain optimal brake function.
