Anyone use the Jagwire complete gear cable kits....Ripcord or Switch and what if any difference is there between the 2 kits?
I tried the ripcord set on my Hustler. It looked the part, but rear mech cable snapped after 3-4 months and strands of reinforcing wire from the outers tried forcing their way through the ferrules. I'm going back to Gore Ride-on, twice the price, but more than twice as good.
not quite related, but i have this time on my brompton used jagwire brake cable outer ..
far better than Shimano brake cableouter i have been using.
cables on a brompton get a hammering due to the fold - mines gets folded on average 8 times a day - lots of cable bending - the jagwires are still nice and free running after 3 months - shimano normally start to break down after 2 months

Both my speshs (rockhopper / tricross) came with these. Very impressed with the jagwire outer - it just works!
I use the Jagwire cables day in and day out at work and not one person has ever complained or had a problem with Jagwire cable sets.
Ripcord = 'Sealed' bits.
Switch = No sealing but cool metal braided look.
