SIMWORKS Stainless Outer Cable "CRISPER" for Shift - 3m

The new "CRISPER" outer cable, co-developed by SimWorks and Nissen Cable, is a model created as an option for users who seek more delicate handling and high-precision shifting and braking performance, based on the reliability of the traditional stainless steel outer cable.

With modern 11-13 speed drivetrains and mechanical disc brakes, the precision of the inner wire and outer cable directly impacts handling. CRISPER suppresses "stroke loss" (compression-related operation loss) by increasing the thickness of the inner coil and narrowing the winding pitch. This allows lever movement to be transmitted more accurately, making precise shift adjustments smoother and providing a sharper lever feel during braking.

Even as electronic shifting and hydraulic brakes become mainstream, SimWorks cherishes "the tactile feel at your fingertips and a pleasant ride quality" for riders who love mechanical systems. CRISPER is not intended as a direct upgrade to the conventional product, but rather as a "refined option" to meet higher demands.

While outer cable coil wires are generally made of steel, Nissen Cable uses stainless steel to ensure rust resistance, and finishes them with a transparent coating. The inside of the coil features a polyethylene inner liner that makes lever action lighter. The shift version has an outer diameter of 4mm and is compatible with 1.2mm inner wires.

Considering full-outer housing frames and the diversification of cable routing to avoid interference with bags and racks, SimWorks has adopted a 3m total length instead of the standard 2m specification, virtually eliminating concerns about cable length during assembly.

[Installation method to correctly bring out the performance of the outer cable]

• Before installation, leave the outer cable straight for half a day to a full day to allow for initial shrinkage before use.
• Use an outer cable guide or a high-precision wire cutter for cutting.
• After cutting, remove burrs from the coating and coil, and clear the hole of the liner tube.
  
• Apply fluorine-based or silicone-based oil to the inner cable.

[SPEC]

※Unlike regular conduit-type (longitudinal wire) outer cables, this shift outer cable features a coiled structure.
