The Shimano Rear Brake Cable is a reliable replacement cable designed to restore crisp, consistent braking performance on your bike. Built to Shimano’s well-known quality standards, this rear cable is suitable for a wide range of bicycles that use mechanical rim or mechanical disc brakes. The stainless or galvanized steel construction typically used in Shimano cables helps resist corrosion and stretch, so your braking feel stays precise over time.

This cable is designed to run from your rear brake lever to the rear brake caliper, providing smooth, low-friction actuation when paired with compatible housing. It is usually supplied long enough to be cut to fit most frame sizes and routing styles, making it a versatile option for road, mountain, urban, or trekking bikes. Ideal for home mechanics and workshop use alike, the Shimano Rear Brake Cable offers dependable performance, easy installation with standard tools, and a noticeable upgrade in braking response and modulation.
