Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Simple answer.

What matters is the type of end, and adequate length.

Here's a picture of common cable ends
.

You need either type B or C.

B is typical or drop bars, and C on upright handlebar brake levers, but rather than guess, just look at what you have.

You can also buy kits which include the housing, and I suggest you do so, because the housings tend to have shorter life than the inner wires.

Simple question, simple answer, have fun
