 Thomas Wallace posted that this set "DOES NOT" come with cables and housings. Amanda A. posted that it did. I can attest and agree with Amanda A. that this set "DOES REPEAT DOES" come with shifter cables already attached to the shifters. Brake cables and housings "ARE" in the box also along with cables finishing ends. Everything you need "IS" in the box!!;

I am refreshing my wife's bike and originally they had twist shifts with separate brake handles. I tried to replace those directly but lack of stock made that a challenge. I decided to use these since they were available not an easy thing during covid and they are on my bike so no surprises there.

I did not see this in the specs but the package came with new cables for both the brakes and derailleurs and the cable protectors and hardware. And they are the good Shimano cable protectors lined on the inside for low friction. Nice bonus for the refresh. The picture only showed the cables for the derailleurs and no cable protectors.

As always good Shimano quality nice shifting nice brake leverage all around good quality. It just makes sense to go with Shimano. It's not like they are priced more than the other named brands. I have now replaced my wife's rear rim derailleurs crank lower bracket bearing shifters and brake handles and cables with all Shimano parts.;
