Like every component on your bike, shifter cables wear out. And when they do, you'll know it. Corroded and frayed shifter cables are more likely to get stuck in the housing or catch on parts of your bike, leaving you with wonky shifting.

Derailleur cables are like car tires, they wear out slowly over time, you don't realize the loss in performance until you replace them. Don't let old cables get in the way of a smooth ride.

Bring your bike into any of our 7 locations we'll replace your cables and housing so your bike shifts smooth and easy. You'll be thrilled with the difference it makes in your ride.
