$18.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Huge improvement in braking performance & feel. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Avid standard cables. | | Bike Setup: | Trek Fuel 98 (02 model), XT drivetrain, Mavic 819 rims on Bonty race hubs. | | Bottom Line: | Worth every penny. I was really starting to wish I had disk brakes until I fitted these cables. No worries now. Smooth, light action & powerful. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Like any other | | Weaknesses: | none really. Should be available to buy per foot... ( see botom line ) | | Similar Products Used: | Jagwire, avid flake jacket, teflon coated whatever ! | | Bike Setup: | Mostly Xt | | Bottom Line: | Set-up is like the the rest (best). But they just last. Been through very muddy races, raids. ABSOLUTLY GREAT. Minimal maintenance. Was a per ride job before. Recommended. But....now I need a full lenght housing to my rear derailleur for my new frame.....N/A !!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | excel sports | | Strengths: | Very easy setup. Smooth operation, no stretch, seems very durable. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Gore Ride-On cables, Aztec cables | | Bike Setup: | Merlin Illiad frame, Shimano XT drivetrain, Avid Ultimate Brakes | | Bottom Line: | Smooth strong braking, simple setup, good looks, and thick stretch free cables. No gimmicks. Performs as well as the Gore Ride-On's, more durable that the Aztec's. These are my favorites. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$14.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson USA | | Strengths: | These cables operate very smoothly. I highly recommend them. | | Weaknesses: | Wish they came in black | | Bike Setup: | Trek | | Bottom Line: | These cables work very well. I realized how smooth they were when I accidentally broke the rear brake cable (my fault). I replaced it with a cheap cable (reusing the XTR casing). Now I can feel a significant difference between the front & rear brakes. The front brake (Xtr) is smooth & easy to pull. The rear brake exhibts some friction & is not as smooth as the front. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
