This Shimano OT-SP41 Road Stainless Derailleur Cable and Housing Set is for cyclists seeking smooth, reliable shifting performance on their road bikes. Its key benefit is the factory-greased, low-friction SP41 housing combined with a stainless steel cable for consistent gear changes and durability. A potential caveat is that it's a specific set for derailleur systems and may require precise cutting for optimal fit.

This set is specifically designed for road bikes with derailleurs.
Yes, the OT-SP41 housing is factory-greased with Shimano's SP41 lubricant for reduced friction.
You will need a sharp cable and housing cutter, and possibly pliers for crimping. Allen keys are needed for derailleur adjustment.
While the cable itself might be compatible, the housing diameter and length are optimized for road bike systems. For mountain bikes, it is recommended to use a dedicated MTB cable and housing set.
The set includes 1700mm of 4mm housing and a 2100mm x 1.2mm stainless steel cable.
The set includes the housing, cable, 2 end caps, and 2 crimps. It does not include specialized cutting tools or a chain.
Ensure the housing is cut cleanly and has smooth bends. Check that the cable is properly seated in the shifter and derailleur. Verify cable tension and limit screw adjustments.
Ensure the cable end is properly secured with a crimp. Use a sharp tool to cut the cable cleanly before crimping.
Confirm the housing was not kinked during installation and that the cuts are clean. The internal grease should provide smooth passage; if binding persists, consider if internal contamination has occurred.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This set is designed for Shimano and compatible road bike derailleur systems. Ensure your shifters and derailleurs are designed for this cable and housing size (1.2mm cable, 4mm housing).
Care:
While stainless steel cables are durable, regular cleaning of your drivetrain is recommended. Periodically inspect the housing for damage or wear. Re-greasing may be necessary for extended longevity, though the initial factory grease is designed for long-term use.
