FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 'Ultra-Slick' surface?

The Ultra-Slick surface significantly reduces friction, allowing for smoother, faster, and more precise gear shifts, especially crucial for modern 11-speed drivetrains.

Does this cable have a coating that can flake off?

What drivetrain systems is this cable compatible with?

This cable is designed for compatibility with SRAM and Shimano shifting systems.

Can I use this cable with any type of brake cable housing?

No, this is a derailleur cable and should only be used with derailleur cable housing. It is optimized for use with all performance-grade bicycle housing.

What does the black end on the cable signify?

The black colored end on the cable is for easy identification and helps ensure correct installation.

Is this cable suitable for mountain bikes?

While primarily designed for road bikes with 11-speed systems, its precise performance can benefit mountain bike drivetrains, provided the length and type are appropriate.

How long is the cable?

The Jagwire 73EL2300 Elite Shift Cable is 2300 mm long.

Troubleshooting

Stiff or sticky shifting

Ensure the cable is properly lubricated and that the housing is not kinked or damaged. Check for debris within the housing. If problems persist, consider replacing the cable and housing.

Cable fraying at the derailleur clamp

Ensure you are using a quality cable end cap. Re-clamp the cable ensuring it is seated correctly and not under excessive stress. If the cable is significantly damaged, replace it.

Shifting accuracy is poor after installation

Re-check cable tension at the derailleur and ensure the limit screws on the derailleur are correctly adjusted. Verify compatibility with your drivetrain components.
