clean system. when set up right, it's essentially sealed and will stay clean.

tough to set up

Not overly impressed with these cables. They are difficult to set up, and I felt like there was not a lot of improvement over the Flack Jacket that I'd been running. Certainly not what I'd expected. I ran the steel tubes along the tubes of my bike and used heat shrink to seal all of the connections and prevent rub and rattle. I gave up on running a tube on the front fork. It has very little support and just seemed kind of sketchy. They work as well as anything else, but in MHO not any better.

Very difficult to install. Need lots of tools. Very vague instructions.

Ended up stripping the wiring and had to go buy other cables. Complete waste of money. You need to have really nice tools (mainly cutting equipment) to get them installed. I spent 2+ hours trying to install them and made a call to tech support (helped a little), when the cable got stipped I went and bought Shimano XTRs and had them installed and working in 20 minutes. They may work well if you can get them instaleld, but be ready for a headache with installation.

Reduces friction
Lighter than standard cables

I dig this cable system. Was pretty easy to set up, although the directions weren't really complete. Customer technical service was awesome...called them and they told me what was up. The # is 303-762-9353.

Pulling on the brake feels instant. The straight metal section makes a lot of sense, and it is well designed to be fully sealed if you set it up right.

Ingenuity, linear actuation, removal of compromising cable flex.

For the less than apt, can prove dificult to install to the best working order.

You can make this to be quite the braking system. DO NOT bend the tubing, it's too thin. But you can make elbows slightly with the ferrels and get a trick setup. I have one at the top tube and seat stay from the braze on boss, SS tube, small cable bend, and the run of SS tube parallel with seat stay and it's bosses/guides. The instructions are generic. Don't think you have to compromise your bikes lines to have this product. It's made to be cleaned up!

Great feeling and perfomance, not only in my opinion since at least three mechanics in local bike shops, after looking and testing the system were amazed by the perfomance and feeling comparing if not overpassing the hydros. After one year of use the durability is still great.

Needs attention at installation and some testing before making the final cutting.

Recommended 100% for anyone who want's the extra perfomance and super feeling, believe me you will not regret it!!

Front Brake was smooth to set-up. Shrink wrap a +++. Ample amounts of Cable Housing.

Not enough shrink wrap and Cable guides for rear set-up

Two Words: Customer Service. I had trouble setting up the rear brake on my F.S. bike. The cable kept pinching and locking up the rear disk after hitting drops (very uncool, especially on staircase landings). Called Avid tech service. The folks at Avid stayed on the line until we cornered the culprit (a hydralic cable guide). Think the problem is solved, a problem by the way that was of operator fault not Avids. Thanks again Avid. One more thing, Avid took care of the shrink wrap and cable guide issues.

First of Mech Disks. V-brake only before.

Cable protection (in theory), low friction.

Hard to deburr after cutting, not a smart idea for front cable, awkward to mount on FS bike, no inner wire, no ferrules provided!

This product was advertised as a cable system, but it really isn't. It is simply a bit of "rigid housing". When mounted on the front fork, in standard "non-moto" configuration (front brake controls on left), even a reasonably mild crash will put a big stress/bend on the housing (not the metal part, but the standard housing that feeds into it). I was surprised to open the package and not find any cable inner wires. Required another trip to the shop & a delay in installation.

I'm sure there was a good idea behind the concept, but it needs a lot of work. Perhaps a semi-flexible jacketed cable with a large diameter opening/channel that tapers to standard housing would be the ticket.

Feels great...good modulation, rear feels as good as the front

Not the easiest to install, but if you have some time it isn't all that hard...just read the directions

Nice feel, I think they'll last a long time. Installation isn't too bad...I used a dremel to cut the metal tubes and it worked great and left smooth edges. All of my ferruls and cables were included...I guess the other guy here just got unlucky. For brake cables they are pretty expensive, but I figured as long as I was paying $150 for the brakes, I could spend a little more and have them feel good. 4 chilis only because installation is time-consuming.

Great power

took 5 minutes longer to install than traditional cables

Takes a bit to install, ut if you deduct pts for that then you're a girlie man. They have a much more solid feel than regular cable housing and... i think the look cool.

if i could give it 6 chilis i would
