Anyone used these Swiss Comp housings?
How do they rate compared to Alligator ilinks?
I used them on a bike a while back, and they worked really well.
I have used Nokon cables in the past, never the alligator links, but these where comparable in performance to the Nokon stuff.
Slightly heaver, but whose gonna notice that?

Well, I'd notice, handyman! 😉
But these look interesting, how tough is the finish?.
The big downside of Nokons is the anodising is really crap, easily scratched, and corrodes if you get so much as a bead of sweat on it...
Well i spose that couple of grams does make a big difference 😉
Anyway i found the finish to be pretty good, i dropped them all over the garage floor then proceeded to tread on them while picking them up, and they came out looking pretty much brand new. So it must be fairly good.
The Nokon stuff is rubbish for the finish, i will agree with that. Still looked good on the bike though.
Thanks, 'will have to keep an eye out for some.
I assume they work just like nokons/ilinks in that you can adjust the length of housing by taking of the links?
damitamit,
Thats the way....
They are [b]lighter[/b] than Nokon for sure, they are 30 gram per meter on my digital scale. They look and feel heavy duty. the installation is far easier than NOKON plus a much better finish, you cant beat the Swiss, I dont know where to get another set? any one knows??
