Fancy a set of these (in white) for my Kona I'm building
Any good?
I have them on my Meta and they've been just fine. I used some Shimano end-caps to limit water ingress too.
Got some on the new prototype Ragley ti. They look quality, in braided grey, but I'll only know how good they are if they're still working fine in a few months time.
lolz Ed - I was going to say the same thing. My Ragley has them too.
Seem nice and slick right now. I keep over-shifting.
Now on the other hand a pal had them on his new Blur LT and hated them. Changed to XT cables and said they were a vast improvement. They did seem to be rather stiff tbh.
Personally i dont go in for expensive cables since i used Avid Flack jackets and deemed them rubbish. Basic shimano outer works fine on my hardtail.
I've been using them on my Superlight since September. They've wintered superbly. They have needed no attention all winter and I've ridden more then usually over the cold, muddy, grim months than usual (due to redundancy)
Shifting has been spot on, and they are importantly [b]"zero maintainance"[/b]...... I would however point out they stretched a little more than the Shimano cables I ran before, but that's a minor niggle for a set of cables which have been worth the 17 odd quid I paid back last autumn.
Oh and the White outers look nice too 😉
