PJP2013 Posted April 5, 2016 Share How often on a Roadbike should cables and or cable housings be replaced? Hi This is purely my opinion, no scientific evidence. I think once a year for both inner and outer. Reason is I just replaced my frame and had to change the cabling. Cables were two years old and in some cases, inners had been replaced once. Unexpected bonus was that brakes and drive train felt like they also been replaced. Shifting is crisp and clean and brake feel smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted April 5, 2016 Share Once a year, don't reuse cables or sleeves, even if they look OK. The front one does not wear out as quick as the rear. So front you can leave it if it is shifting OK. Don't bother with expensive cables and sleeves, better to buy cheap and replace often.
