Jagwire Cable End Non-Crimp Tips

Always the right length

Easy on and easy off, keeping the cables the right length for easy maintenance. Just a dribble of lube helps them slide on easy, yet won't slide off and be lost.

Nice cable end that doesn't have to be crimped. It is bigger than the normal cable end, not a bad thing, just be advised. Reusable which is a plus.

Pros: Reusable. Nice finishing touch.

Easier to install with secure fit

I thought these would fall off of my mountain bike in no time, but they actually have stayed on really well. They are much easier to install than the alternative and are more attractive.

Pros: Much easier to install than traditional crimps.

Cons: Easy to loose once you removed them.

Favorite new bike part?

Whoever thought of these was a genius! I'm always changing or trading components and this keeps my cables nice and neat and looking complete! I had no trouble getting them on both brake and shifter cables as some have noted, nor with them popping open, or coming off.

Pros: Moveable and removeable.
Make your bike look complete.

Surprising stable little cable ends

i felt like a chump when I bought these seemingly designer cable ends. Well, they kick butt! They're reusable, they stay put, and they look sharp instead of gawdy.

Pros: They work! Reusable, sleek.

Cons: You might feel like a poser.

Meh

I love the way these things look. But, it's their longevity and performance that has me at odds. I put two on my rig. One on the front derailleur and one on the rear. My front derailleur has a strange placement and leaves the wire open to being grabbed. Well, it did that and the tire ripped up this little guy. Tore out the colored portion and left the rubber boot. So, to say that the rubber boot works great? Yes. Are they strong? No. The tip on my rear derailleur is holding up just fine.

Pros: Good looking, easy to install, light

Cons: Flimsy, not strong, expensive

Flimsy

These end crimps dress up the cables a little but the main advantage to them is that you can remove the end cap to thread the cable back through the sheath without doing any damage to the cable.

Be advised that these crimps mainly fit derailleur cables. They can be made to fit the thicker brake cables but it requires a lot of effort (slide the rubber end on first, then roll it only the cap).

The caps themselves are a split design and not very strong so be careful when inserting the cables.

Pros: none

Cons: Only fits derailleur wires

non-crimp tips

hmmmmm.... what to say about these. They are cool looking, and reusable is a nice plus. No problems installing them and they seem to stay on good but its a very minor detail on any bike in my opinion.

Pros: cool looking
work as described

Small but Practical

These fellas do what they say. They were a little tricky to get on, but once on they stayed put. They are reusable and I have taken them off and on several times. Be careful to thread them on slowly or the alloy part will separate.

Pros: Nice finishing touch
Reusable
Stop any fraying in it's tracks

Cons: A little tough to get on the first time
The alloy part will separate, if you twist too hard

I bought these for a new build so I could leave some extra length on the cable without having a big coil hanging in the way. They seem to stay in place well but I'm still not sure I want to leave them on permanently.

Pros: Easy to use, reusable

Cons: None so far
