Set of 100 Shimano Y62098030 bicycle derailleur cable end caps

Shimano ’s Y62098030 derailleur cable end caps are essential little accessories for ensuring a neat and durable finish after cutting a gear cable. This pack of 100 Shimano end caps is ideal for bike workshops, shops, mechanics and cyclists who always want to have spare parts to hand for their maintenance work.

Designed for inner gear cables, these end caps protect the end of the cable after it has been cut and prevent it from fraying. Shimano Officially listed as Y62098030, these are inner gear cable end caps, sold in packs of 100.

A neat finish after every cable replacement

When replacing a derailleur cable, the end of the steel cable must be neatly finished after being cut to the required length. Without protection, the strands may gradually splay or fray, making handling less convenient and compromising the finish of the assembly.

Shimano ’s Y62098030 cable end cap is fitted to the end of the cable and then crimped using suitable pliers. It thus holds the strands in place and gives the assembly a neat, professional finish.

These end caps are particularly useful when fitting cables to derailleurs on MTBs, road bikes, gravel bikes, trekking bikes and city bikes fitted with a mechanical cable-operated drivetrain.

Inner diameter of 1.2 mm

The Y62098030 is designed for gear cables and has an internal diameter of 1.2 mm according to the available technical data. It is made of aluminium and comes in a silver finish.

This design is suitable for the following derailleur inner cables Shimano, and many other derailleur cables of a compatible diameter.

Please note: this is an end cap for derailleur inner cables, not a housing end cap. It should therefore not be confused with the end caps or stops designed for derailleur housings.

Value pack of 100 pieces

With 100 end caps in the pack, the Shimano Y62098030 is ideal for workshops or users who regularly service several bicycles.

This pack also allows you to build up a substantial stock for successive cable replacements, without having to buy the end caps individually.

Expert tip: after cutting the cable to the correct length, check that the end is clean and that no metal strands are protruding significantly. Then place the end cap onto the cable and crimp it gently with pliers. Over-crimping can deform the terminal; the aim is simply to hold it firmly in place.
