Full details
This guide is for cyclists of all types, including E-bike, MTB, Road, Hybrid, and BMX riders, who need reliable cable termination. The key benefit is ensuring your brake and gear cables are neatly and securely finished, preventing fraying and improving shifting/braking performance. A potential caveat is that these are ferrules only, and require cable ends to be fitted separately. These Clarks Alloy Brake Ferrules offer a durable solution for managing your bicycle's control cables, provided in a convenient dispenser pot of 200 pieces.

FAQs
What type of cables do these ferrules fit?
These ferrules are designed for standard bicycle brake and gear cables.
Do I need a special tool to install them?
While you can sometimes get away with pliers, a dedicated cable crimping tool will provide the most secure and professional finish.
How many ferrules are in one pot?
Each dispenser pot contains 200 pieces.
Can these be used for electronic shifting cables?
These ferrules are intended for mechanical brake and gear cables, not for electronic wiring.
Are these ferrules waterproof?
The alloy construction offers good resistance to the elements, but like any metal part, prolonged exposure to moisture without drying can eventually lead to corrosion.
What is the material of the ferrules?
The ferrules are made from alloy.
What bicycle types are these suitable for?
They are suitable for E-bikes, MTB, Road, Hybrid, and BMX bicycles.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule won't slide onto cable.
Ensure you are using the correct size ferrule for standard brake/gear cables. If the cable end is frayed, trim it cleanly before attempting to slide the ferrule on.
Ferrule comes loose after crimping.
Ensure you are using an appropriate crimping tool and applying sufficient pressure. Re-crimp the ferrule firmly. If the cable is damaged, it might need to be replaced.
Cable end is frayed even with a ferrule.
The ferrule may not have been crimped securely, or the cable may have been damaged prior to installation. Ensure the ferrule is fully crimped and consider replacing the cable if it's significantly frayed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your brake or gear cable has been cut to the desired length.

- Use a pair of pliers or a specific cable crimping tool to gently but firmly crimp the ferrule onto the cable end. This ensures a secure and permanent fit.

Care:
These ferrules are made of alloy and require minimal care. To clean, simply wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Store the dispenser pot in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
