Shimano Optislick Inner Gear Cable

The Shimano Optislick inner gear cable is designed for those who want to replace their mechanical gear cable and achieve smoother movement through the housing. The cable is made from stainless steel with an Optislick coating, which reduces friction between the cable and housing. It is 2100 mm long with a diameter of 1.2 mm.

It is used with Shimano mechanical gear systems in road and MTB applications. The pack contains 1 cable and 1 end cap, so you already have what you need to cap the end. Only one version is available, measuring 2100 mm: check that it is long enough for the cable route on your bike. It is a good choice when shifting feels stiff or imprecise and you want to start afresh with a new cable.

Founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano, Shimano is still based in the same city today. For cyclists, it makes drivetrains, brakes, wheels, pedals and cycling shoes. Its history in bicycle components began with the production of freewheels in 1922.
