Still have a couple spares when the current cables wears out. <br />Good to know Jag-Wire picked it up.Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201414568893805216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-92008383434553644092016-01-12T11:22:30.947-05:002016-01-12T11:22:30.947-05:00Hmm.

I never had good luck with the Gore cables - dust & grit always worked its way in after a few months and wound up with higher friction than open cables.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595904422854349191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-81678364427306127892016-01-12T11:21:09.354-05:002016-01-12T11:21:09.354-05:00I think there are several reasons for this. First,...I think there are several reasons for this. First, most mountain bikes (and, increasingly, road bikes) use hydraulic disk brakes. This takes away 2 of the 4 cables. Many mountain bikes are also going 1x, removing another cable from the system. That leaves only one cable on the bike. Lastly, many newer bikes are using full length housing that accomplished pretty much the same thing as the sealed systems.Mark L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10145970874536887917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-52842690254027360762016-01-12T10:30:27.757-05:002016-01-12T10:30:27.757-05:00I have been buying high end Jagwire cable kits for...I have been buying high end Jagwire cable kits for a while, rather than the basic cables and bulk housing in stock at my LBS. I can say that it does make a noticeable improvement to braking and shifting performance. However, I think it only fair to add that even the stock LBS stuff is of significantly higher quality these days than I remember from decades past. If either kind is not sealed properly (with a full housing run or seals on the housing end caps) then dirt and moisture will cause problems.Exhausted_Aukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724847867511724067noreply@blogger.com
