Lined end caps have an internal sleeve that extends out from the end. This liner protects the inner cable from the opening in the end cap, preventing cable coatings from wearing off and ensuring the lowest possible friction. Lined end caps can also be paired with a sealing liner or a dirt guard to keep dirt and grime out of the housing. WHEN TO USE: Use lined end caps whenever you use Teflon-coated cables to protect the coating.

Open end caps deliver low friction performance and are less expensive, but do little to protect the system from contaminates. Great for use on bikes with uncoated cables in areas with a lower chance of contamination from water or dirt, they are available in multiple sizes, materials and colors. WHEN TO USE: Use open end caps when little protection from dirt is needed in areas such as levers.

Sealed end caps are an excellent choice for shift systems when you’re looking to balance low friction performance with protection against contaminants. A lower friction option than a hooded end cap, sealed end caps have an internal rubber o-ring to help keep the housing clean and dry. WHEN TO USE: Install sealed end caps when you want protection from dirt and debris, but also want to keep friction to a minimum in areas like frame stops.
For use with KEB-SL housing on bikes with road/drop handlebars. Short, fLEXible sections of housing allow the housing to tuck neatly next to the handlebar, under the bar tape. Since compressionless brake housing requires the use of end caps, this allows its use with brake levers that do not accommodate end caps.
FLEXible shift housing for use with Shimano Shadow type road rear derailleurs, such as RD-R9100, RD-R8000, and RD-R7000. 4mm low-compression CGX-SL housing construction. Includes 10x sealed end caps and 10x 4mm/4mm housing connectors.
