Brake/Derailleur Cable End Caps Clarks CX88DP aluminium silver 1.0–1.6 mm 500 pcs

Clarks CX88DP aluminium cable end caps are designed for finishing brake and derailleur inner cables with a neat, durable seal. Manufactured from lightweight aluminium and supplied in a silver finish, this pack contains 500 end caps sized to fit cables with diameters from 1.0 to 1.6 mm. The caps are intended for use in bicycle maintenance and assembly where preventing cable fraying and securing cable ends improves longevity and shifting/braking performance.

Advantages

Made from aluminium for a balance of light weight and corrosion resistance, these end caps provide a clean visual finish and protect inner cable strands from unraveling. The 1.0–1.6 mm range ensures compatibility with most standard brake and derailleur inner cables. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500, they are suitable for workshops and assembly lines that require consistent, repeatable results when crimping cable ends.

How to use

Slide an end cap over the cut end of the inner cable and position it flush with the cable tip. Use appropriate cable crimping pliers to compress the cap onto the cable until it is firmly secured. Trim any excess cable before crimping if necessary, and ensure the crimp is tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to damage the cable core. After crimping, check that the cable runs smoothly through housing and stops without snags.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with compatible cable crimping pliers and perform a test crimp on a spare cable to confirm proper fit and compression. Inspect crimped ends periodically during routine maintenance and replace any caps that show deformation or corrosion.
