Frayed cable ends snag on everything and eventually unravel into a mess that makes future adjustments frustrating. Jagwire's alloy cable end crimps solve this with a polished construction that holds up to repeated handling better than basic steel alternatives. The 1.8mm diameter fits standard brake and derailleur cables, so you can use one bag for both applications around the shop or in your home toolkit rather than stocking separate sizes.

These crimps feature a hexagonal shape that provides multiple flat surfaces for your crimping tool to grip securely. The alloy construction includes a small shoulder at the opening that makes installation noticeably easier than crimps without this feature. You slide the crimp over your freshly cut cable, position it just past the housing ferrule, and squeeze with cable cutters or a dedicated crimping tool. The shoulder catches against the cable strands during positioning, preventing the crimp from sliding too far up the cable before you apply pressure.

A 10-pack covers several cable changes or keeps your toolbox stocked for quick repairs when you notice fraying during routine maintenance. The polished silver finish looks clean against any cable color and housing combination.
