HIGH CARBON STEEL OUTER CASING OF AUTO PARTS PULLER CABLES
High carbon steel is a popular material choice for outer bicycle gear and brake cable housing due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and stiffness. Here are some key attributes of high carbon steel cable casing:
Strength - The carbon content adds strength and stiffness without being overly brittle. It holds its shape well under tension.
Corrosion Resistance - Modern steel alloys are treated to resist rusting and corrosion from water and road grime better than bare steel.
Weight - Steel is heavier than alternatives like aluminum but provides robust protection for the inner cable.
Durability - With proper maintenance, high carbon steel casing can last for many tens of thousands of miles of use.
Commonly Used - Original equipment from major brands like Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo. Also available aftermarket.
Coupling Options - Can have traditional crushed and bonded ends, or optional threaded/locking connectors for applications requiring regular disassembly.
Tube Size - Most common is 4mm outer diameter tubing for gear and brake cables. Larger for some brakes.
