Steve Date Reviewed: October 21, 2012 Strengths: Teflon cables are smooth. Cool colours to pick from. Weaknesses: Not enough cable housing to do a small Niner RDO with internal cable routing. They kink easily. This is my third set I'm going to try something else next time. Made in china. Really we can't even make a simple cable in this country. Bottom Line:

from Akeley, MN, USA Date Reviewed: September 7, 2011 Strengths: The sleeve protects the cable from being exposed to dirt and moisture. This seems like a superior setup as opposed to the Ride-on cables. I had these and the protective plastic would bunch up and I am glad I switched. Weaknesses: Made in China. An extra cap or two would be nice. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: AMAZON Similar Products Used: Gore Ride-on Bike Setup: Nx7.7 24 speed, Duke XC fork, Formula Oro brakes, Titanium cassette, Hollow-tech crank, Race Face stem and handlebar, Sachs and X9 derailleurs, Mavic wheels, Cane Creek headset.

Has "rain jackets" protecting ferrule ends that slide back and forth as you shift.Smooth shifting. Weaknesses: Labor intensive,not for the beginner mechanic. Don't make a mistake when cutting the housing to fit, as there was barely enough.
