SRAM's Pit Stop collection of shop and consumer supplies is a great resource for quality bits and pieces you require for regular bike maintenance. Behold the humble derailleur cable end, or crimp, without which no mechanical drivetrain is complete. Excel Sports has always made such small service parts a major aspect of our identity, and we manually package reasonable quantities for your needs. In this case a pack of 10. Sure, you could buy 500, but how many dedicated home mechanics will ever use 200, let alone 500?

These silver alloy 1.2mm cable ends are compatible with both 1.1 and 1.2 mm diameter wound steel cables. The cable end slides over the end of the cable, and when crimped prevents the cable from fraying. Anyone who has ever speared or sliced a finger on a loose strand will understand one practical reason for their use.
