Teflon-coated housing
Massi ’s 11317 30-metre roll of bicycle derailleur cable is designed for the maintenance, repair and replacement of bicycle derailleur cables. Intended for both repair workshops and cyclists who maintain their own bikes, it offers a generous length, allowing several installations to be carried out from a single roll.
Thanks to its Teflon-coated finish, this cable housing ensures the derailleur cable slides smoothly inside the housing. It therefore helps to achieve smooth and precise gear changes, provided the entire drivetrain system is correctly fitted and maintained.
With a diameter of 4 mm and a black finish, the Massi cable housing is compatible with a wide range of mechanical drivetrain set-ups. The 30-metre pack is particularly useful for cycling professionals, clubs, workshops and enthusiasts who carry out regular maintenance.

The smooth operation of a mechanical drivetrain depends in particular on the quality of the cable, the housing and the derailleur adjustment. A housing in good condition helps to efficiently transmit the lever’s command to the gear-changing mechanism.
Massi ’s derailleur cable housing (11317) features a Teflon coating designed to reduce cable friction. This design promotes smoother shifting and contributes to precise gear changes.
When replacing a worn, dirty or damaged cable housing, it is recommended that you also check the condition of the inner cable, the end caps and the stops. A neat installation and correct lengths ensure the drivetrain continues to function properly.
The 30-metre roll packaging allows you to cut the exact length required for each job. It avoids the need to make multiple purchases of short lengths and makes it easier to manage maintenance parts in a workshop.
This length is particularly suitable for:
The cable housing can be cut to the required length using a suitable tool. The ends should then be carefully prepared to facilitate cable passage and ensure a neat fit.
With its black finish, the Massi 11317 cable housing blends in easily with the components of many bikes. It is suitable for set-ups where the diameter and design match the specifications of this cable housing.
It may be used on a road bike, a mountain bike or a city bike, provided the requirements of the relevant drivetrain system are checked.
Please note: this product is intended for derailleur cables. It must not be used as a brake cable housing, as the mechanical stresses and safety requirements are different.

Irregular gear changes, a stiff shifter, a frayed cable or a crushed cable sheath may indicate that a replacement is needed. However, you should also check the derailleur adjustment and the condition of the cable.
The length depends on the cable route between the shifter and the derailleur. You must allow sufficient length to enable the handlebars to turn freely and the suspension to operate, where applicable, without creating excessively tight bends.
A cable and sheath cutter specially designed for bicycles is recommended. It ensures a clean cut and minimises crushing of the sheath, which could hinder the cable’s movement.
It isn’t always necessary, but it is advisable if the cable shows signs of wear, corrosion, damaged strands or is difficult to move. Replacing both components can make it easier to adjust and operate the drivetrain.
No. A derailleur cable and a brake cable are not mechanically identical. For safety reasons, you must use a cable specifically designed for the relevant braking system.
