Gear Kits are 35% LIGHTER than Shimano cables and housing! Brake Kits are 50% LIGHTER!
With current 10spd and 11spd systems cables and housings now have a greater impact on overall performance of the entire system than ever before. Friction, wear and tear and contamination can quickly cause shifting and braking functions to deteriorate.
The colour of your housing is no longer the only consideration when choosing cables and housing for your bike.
Whether it's the weight savings,
the reduced friction or the increased durability the BDop Cable
and Housing kits are a well thought out solution to an increasingly
important performance issue.
BDOP
CABLE and HOUSING KITS are compatible with Shimano or Campagnolo.
ELITE INNER
WIRE for Road only
All BDop inner
wires are constructed using 19 strands of Stainless
Steel wire. With the ELITE wire, we add a few special
features.
First, the individual
strands are specially coated before being wound into
cables, unlike most inner wires which are coated
after being wound so that only the outer surface
is coated. With our process all 19 strands are
coated which greatly reduces corrossion.
We use a fine
Plasma Mist Electroplating Process
to ensure uniform thickness of the friction reducing
material with excellent adhesion and, once the strands
are wound together to form the final inner wire, the
coatings lightly bond to each other which means the
inner wire won't fray when cut.
FEATURES:
35% lighter than
Shimano kits!
Pre Stretched
Deep Penetrating
Plasma Mist Electroplating greatly reduces friction
Extremely hard
wearing, no flaking or peeling with use.
No fraying on
cut cable ends
Available
for ROAD GEAR ONLY

STANDARD
INNER WIRE for Road and MTB
All BDop inner
wires are constructed using 19 strands of Stainless
Steel wire.
The Standard wires
are wound and then Precision Ground.
This delivers an ultra-smooth finish for exceptional
efficiency and reduced weight.
FEATURES:
Pre Stretched

METAL MATRIX
HOUSING for Road and MTB
The BDop Cable
and Housing Kits us a very special outer housing. The
gear cable housings are made from 19 strands of wire
while the Brake housing uses 17 strands.
These wires are
a combination of alloy and stainless steel.
The alloy saves weight while the stainless steel strands
add needed stiffness and protection.
Based on current
offerings from other brands our gear housings are 35%
lighter while our brake housings are a whopping 50%
lighter!
The wires are
then encased by a high strength fiber to prevent "bursting"
under load.
For the brake
housings an additional braided Kevlar sheath
is added (shown in YELLOW) to reduce compression under
load which gives better modulation and overall stopping
power.
FEATURES:
Light weight construction
Reduced compression
and flex under load.
SHIMANO/CAMPAGNOLO
Compatible
Roughly 25% lighter
than tradition housings.
Available for both
GEAR and BRAKE
Please note that the
KEVLAR SHEATH is for Brake housing only.
ALLOY FERRULES
for Road and MTB
When it comes to performance
and durability, the lowly ferrule is often unappreciated.
The job of the ferrule
is to offer perfect seating for the housing, to eliminate
compression under load and to seal the system from contamination.
These ferrules do just
that.
On the right, you can
see examples of an alloy ferrule from the ELITE kit,
the inner features of all of our ferrules and, at the
bottom, examples of the nylon reinforced plastic ferrules
featured in the standard kits.
FEATURES:
The crush ribs on the
outside guarantee a perfect fit in all cable stops and
barrel adjusters.
The water tight seal
around the housing is created by two protrusions on
the inside of the ferrule.
The water tight
seal around the inner wire is created by a rubber grommet.
There is a brass
insert where the housing seats inside the ferrule to
protect the end of the ferrule from being damaged by
the housing over time.
The removable
nose section increases the effectiveness of the water
tight seal, further reduces friction and can be angled
to fit in any frame stops.
NYLON REINFORCED
PLASTIC FERRULES for Road and MTB
These plastic
ferrules are made with 30% nylon for durability and
have the same features as the alloy ferrules.
FEATURES:
The crush ribs on the
outside guarantee a perfect fit in all cable stops and
barrel adjusters.
The water tight seal
around the housing is created by two protrusions on
the inside of the ferrule.
The water tight
seal around the inner wire is created by a rubber grommit.
There is a brass
insert where the housing seats inside the ferrule to
protect the end of the ferrule being damaged by the
housing over time.
