FAQs

Is this cable compatible with Shimano or SRAM systems?

No, the head type on this cable is specifically designed for Campagnolo shifters.

Does this cable come with housing?

No, this is a replacement inner cable only.

Can I use this for my front derailleur?

Yes, it is suitable for both front and rear derailleur applications on Campagnolo systems.

What is the diameter of the cable?

The diameter is 1.1mm, which is standard for road gear cables.

Why is it called 'SpeedWire'?

The term refers to the slick stainless finish which reduces drag to increase shifting speed and responsiveness.

Is the cable coated?

It features a slick finish to reduce friction, designed to remain durable over long service intervals.

Troubleshooting

Poor or inconsistent shifting after install

Check that the cable is properly seated in the shifter head and verify there is no tension bind in the housing curves.

Cable end fraying during installation

Ensure you are using sharp, professional-grade cable cutters and cap the end immediately with a crimp.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shift precision
  • Low-friction slick finish
  • Highly durable stainless steel material
  • Long length accommodates most road bike frame geometries
  • Compatible with 11-speed Campagnolo drivetrains

Cons

  • Specific to Campagnolo head types
  • Requires proper cable cutters for a clean, non-frayed end
  • Not compatible with mountain bike shifting systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your derailleur housing is clean or replaced to maximize the benefits of the slick wire. Insert the cable through the shifter head, ensuring it is seated properly in the Campagnolo-specific head cavity. After routing, tighten the anchor bolt to the manufacturer's torque specification. To care for the cable, avoid using heavy greases inside the housing as these can collect dirt; instead, use a light Teflon-based lubricant if necessary. Always use dedicated cable cutters when shortening the 2350mm length to prevent the stainless strands from fraying.
