TRP own levers and Jagwire cabling? Would that be a good combo? Suggestions welcome.
Will 10 year old XT V brake levers do the trick?
Old XT or XTR and jagwire compressionless cables working well for me. Cable pull adjust on the old XT or XTR and Avid levers is a useful bonus for cable discs.
Are there real world/noticeable benefits to Jagwire or just marketing propoganda?
Possibly for road levers/road disc calipers, which pull less cable.
V-brake levers pull more cable to operate the brake, so the relatively minor amount of compression in regular brake outers isn't so much of a problem.
Jagwire cable help but I had good results with std Ashima and Shimano cables before fitting the Jagwire c-less - post above about cable pull to compression ratio is a good point and more than likely part of why. So it's better, but not essential. I like a bit of squish in the brake feel anyway as long as it's not excessive and the power is sufficient.
XT levers and jagwire here,excellent.
(sorry) I have brand new TRP levers and Jagwire KB-SEL cables which came on a bike with Spyke calipers (calipers sold)....email in profile

If I can't use a compressionless system, it's Jagwire that I use. I dislike spongy brakes.
