An alternative to traditional compressionless housing, this system is made of nesting alloy pieces that protect the liner. Although this housing is typically more expensive, it has several advantages including increased flexibility, reduced weight and increased durability. Both shift and brake housings use identical Slick-Lube liners and interconnecting alloy pieces.

Jagwire Road Elite Link Brake Kit
Jagwire Elite Link Brake Kits are the ultimate combination of durability and attention-grabbing looks. Available in six eye-catching colors and for road or mountain bikes, they improve any bike’s performance and appearance.
The Elite Link housing uses a series of aluminum links to provide a compressionless system for better braking performance with enhanced modulation. But unlike other compressionless housing, its flexibility allows for tight bends without kinking. It’s also much lighter than traditional housing while being more durable. Combine these benefits with Elite, ultra-slick polished cables and Slick-Lube liners, and you’ve got the best of performance and style.
- Precise, compressionless braking performance combined with extreme flexibility
- Each kit comes with links pre-installed on housing segments making setup quick and simple
- Durable aluminum housing won’t kink or rust and is 50% weight savings compared to traditional brake housing
- Ultra-slick polished inner cables minimize system friction
- Bikes with continuous housing, disc brakes, and/or extra-large frames may need additional links and/or liners; service parts are available separately
