You can tip over but you can't over tip

Little parts to get the job done. Come in colors to put that finishing touch on the bike. I actually think these are better than some other tips in that the aluminum is just a bit stouter than other brands I've used.

Pros: Colors to finish off that new build, fits nicely, good quality.

Perfect

What could be wrong with a cable tip. These are a very basic item, and good to have on hand. Why deal with cables coming apart or ride a bike with duct tape on the ends?

Pros: Nice finish for cable work.

Cons: None

Never let them see you frey

You gotta have these so you don't have the frayed ends on your derailleur cables and look like a slob that doesn't take care of their bike. Be cool and get the ends.

Pros: no cable fray.

Cons: none

Must have for building bikes

I like the way this package comes in a qty of 10. There really isn't much reason to have 500 of these laying around the garage unless you build alot of bikes. 10 is perfect for a bike build and extras for down the road.

Pros: Good quantity, parts function well, good price.

Can't. Go. Wrong.

I got the red tips; great color and crimping doesn't take off the color. Works on both brake and derailleur cables.

Work as designed, 'nuff said

Pros: Work fine. Color options

Cons: Probably cost $0.00001 to build but by the time all is said and done their price multiplies exponentially.
