I think I’m going to try Goodridge
I know you get a lot of conflicting opinions on here, but my experience of Goodridge brake cables has made me go back to Shimano. I had them on two bikes & I won’t be buying them again. I’m a big fan of their braided hoses & have used their products on performance bikes & cars. My experience of the brake cables left a lot to be desired.
The cables once installed never felt particularly slick. The outers are stiff & not very flexible. The longitudinal internal braid broke through in a couple of places leaving sharp ends poking through the plastic. As pointed out, Shimano outers, stainless inners & normal service has been resumed.
