Product Details

Built for Performance: Technology & Construction

SRAM Pit‑Stop Brake Housing uses a steel‑reinforced, spiral‑wound construction wrapped in a durable outer jacket to resist compression and maintain braking stiffness under load. Inside, a low‑friction liner reduces cable drag for crisper actuation and longer cable life — ideal for repeat stops and heavy braking on trail or road. The 5.0mm diameter is a standard size for mechanical brake systems (V‑brake, cantilever and cable‑actuated disc calipers). The housing comes in a 30m coil so mechanics and home mechanics can cut exact lengths for multiple wheel builds, full bike builds, or stocking spares. Shipping dims: 13.8" x 13.6" x 2.4", weight: 4.7 lb.

Key Features & Benefits

Engineered for consistent brake feel. The steel reinforcement prevents excessive compression under high brake lever loads, translating to firm, predictable braking and better modulation compared with unstiff housings. The smooth internal liner minimizes friction and cable wear, letting you tune brakes precisely. Practical advantages:• 30m bulk length — enough for several bikes or shop inventory. • Cut‑to‑length convenience for custom routing and neat build aesthetics. • Available in classic black or clean white to match frame colors and housing guides.

Fit, Length & Compatibility

The outer diameter is 5.0mm and designed to accept standard 5mm ferrules and end caps. This housing is compatible with most mechanical brake systems that use 5mm outer housing — including V‑brakes, cantilevers and many cable‑actuated disc brake setups. It pairs with any standard 1.5–1.8mm brake inner wire (sold separately). Because this is bulk housing, you will need to cut it to length and finish the ends with appropriate ferrules. Use a quality cable/housing cutter and ferrules sized for 5mm housing for clean ends and reliable installation.

Who This Is For

This 5mm SRAM Pit‑Stop housing is aimed at mountain riders, bike mechanics and home builders who need dependable, serviceable cable housing in bulk. It’s perfect for workshops that service multiple bikes, riders who prefer to rebuild cables at home, and builders who want consistent brake performance without buying pre‑cut lengths. If you run mechanical brakes and value a firm lever feel, long service intervals, and the flexibility to cut custom lengths, this housing is a practical, cost‑effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this brake housing compatible with hydraulic brakes?

No. This 5mm SRAM Pit‑Stop housing is designed for mechanical cable‑actuated brake systems. Hydraulic brakes use sealed hoses and a completely different fluid line; do not substitute cable housing for hydraulic hose.

Does the coil include inner cables and ferrules?

No. The product is bulk brake housing only. Inner brake cables, ferrules, end caps and any specialty fittings must be purchased separately to complete an installation.

Can I cut this housing to length at home?

Yes. Cut the housing with a quality cable/housing cutter to get a clean, square end. After cutting, fit the correct 5mm ferrules and test cable routing before final trimming and adjustment.

Will this work with V‑brakes and mechanical disc brakes?

Yes. The 5.0mm diameter is the common standard for V‑brakes, cantilever brakes and many mechanical disc caliper systems. Verify your brake lever and noodle/ferrule sizes before installing.

What tools do I need to install this housing?

At minimum you'll need a hardened cable/housing cutter, appropriate 5mm ferrules, brake inner cable, and a set of pliers or an adjustable wrench for final tensioning. A small file or deburring tool helps finish the cut housing ends cleanly.

How long will this housing last?

Lifespan depends on riding conditions and maintenance — a durable outer jacket and low‑friction liner extend service life, but inspect regularly for fraying, kinks, or water ingress. Replace housing if you notice increased lever travel or rough cable action.

Buying Guide

When choosing brake housing, match diameter and reinforcement to your brake type: 5mm is the standard for most mechanical brake systems (V‑brake, cantilever, and many mechanical disc setups). Look for steel reinforcement or compression‑resistant designs to preserve lever feel under heavy braking. Buy in bulk (30m coils like this SRAM Pit‑Stop offering) if you maintain multiple bikes or want stock for future repairs. Always pair housing with quality inner cables, correct‑sized ferrules, and the right tools — a clean install is the difference between vague, spongy brakes and precise stopping power.
