Shimano Dura-Ace BC-9000 Polymer Coated Road Brake Cable Set Info
If you have grown up with Shimano and their extremely effective brakes, you may be surprised to hear that with the introduction of the Dura-Ace 9000, it would be possible not only to stop effortlessly on a dime, but also to feather the brakes with perfect precision. A key ingredient is the Shimano Cable Brake Set that makes use of the polymer-coated brake cables.
Used in conjunction with the Dura-Ace ST-9000 Dual Control Shifters, you’ll feel like you’re brakes are receiving signals directly from your brain. That’s because the polymer coating reduces the sliding resistance of the cable, which gives the braking a quick and easy feel. Treated this way, the cables are also much more resistant to fraying or bunching, which will ensure that your brake action will feel as responsive on the thousandth ride as it did on the first. You will also notice the much improved modulation the brakes offer. You’ll instinctively know you have tons more control at your fingertips. If Shimano was notorious for having breaks that you could not feather, that will no longer be an accusation anyone can make about them. Shimano is quick to stress that you cannot use the polymer coated cables in non-Dura- Ace BR-9000 or 9070 set-ups. The brake cables use a special polymer coating that will not work with older Shimano brakes. The potential is very high for the cable simply to slip out of the brake causing a complete loss of brake power. In fact, Shimano discourages anyone from trying to use these brake cables with anything but their 9000 and higher series since the risk of brake failure through slipping is just way too high.
The polymer coating means that these cables basically never need to be lubed or greased. Shimano says that the coating lasts so long that you’ll need to replace them before you need to grease them. And that won’t be for some time.
The Shimano Cable Brake Set Y8YZ98060 come with 6mm housing ferrule with tongue suited for BC-9000 or -9070 models.
