Vertebrae Ceramic housing is suitable for all types of bicycles (MTB, road, triathlon, time-trial, cross bikes, tandems, recumbents, BMX) and is compatible with all makes of cable-operated derailleurs & brakes (Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo, FSA, etc).
On this page we offer a range self-assembled gear and brake housing, pre-assembled Intervene cable outer sections, ReVamp kits, basic housing extensions and replacement liner.
Vertebrae is now available to pre-order. Delivery time is expected to be around 8-12 weeks for the new 998 model. We’ll be offering three versions of vertebrae this year: 980, 998 and ZTA (previously we offered 960 and 995). The production times of 980 and ZTA will be longer. We’ll explain the differences in a blog post in the coming days…

INTERVENE:
Vertebrae Ceramic gear housing is also available custom-manufactured to your exact length specifications. Measure the lengths you require to the nearest centimetre and then add each continuous section to the cart separately. You can also choose your label colour.
Vertebrae Intervene are pre-assembled sections of cable housing available separately, made to measure! If you just want to order a simple rear derailleur loop, front brake line or rear brake section, this is also the way to go.

PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) bolts.
PEEK is an advanced engineering thermoplastic, generally regarded as one of the highest performing materials in the world. The continuous maximum service temperature of peek is 250°C, at which point most other plastics would undergo significant melting, deformation or degradation.
PEEK feautures a tensile strength of 110MPa and Modulus of Elasticity of 5GPa (much stronger and stiffer than conventional plastics), with a density of only 1.3 g/cm³ (less than half that of aluminium). Suitable for water bottle cages and other applications where safety is non-critical.
Sizes available:
M5 x 15mm, 4mm hex head = €7.50/pair (0.52 grams per bolt)
M4 x 20mm, 3mm hex head = €7.00/pair (0.39 grams per bolt)
M3 x 15mm, 2.5mm hex head = €6.50/pair (0.18 grams per bolt)
