at REI Summary:
These metal braiding is not bonded to the housing. On housing installed with a bend in it the metal wires kept creeping out of the housing and pressed against the shifter cable making shifting difficult. I trimmed up the wires a couple of times in 3 months before ditching this product for Shimano XT cable housing....much better. Similar Products Used:
Shimano XT cables

at Cambria Summary:
I've had no problems with these cables and housings other than the aforementioned issue with cutting the outer jacket cleanly. I think you pay a little more for these than for Shimano cable/housing sets, which impacts the value rating since these perform no better. They look pretty cool I guess. Similar Products Used:
Shimano, Dia Compe, Jagwire

at PricePoint.com Summary:
This cable set made a nice gift but it was a pain too install because it was impossible to make a clean cut in the housing. Now the housing has given up and lost its compression and starts to make sharp creases when shifting. It was fun while it lasted but I wouldn't buy another set. Similar Products Used:
avid straight jacket, stock cable/housing set

at R.E.I. Summary:
Purchased for maximum power to BB7 rear brake. Instructions inadequate and incomplete. Instructions refer to parts by name, but do not list or describe those parts. Silly tubes seemingly designed to catch and hold dust, etc. SRAM ferrules too big for frame's cable stops; prefer not to drill my frame for silly ferrules. Read reviews on MTBR: uh oh! Put instruction sheet and ferrules back into package, and returned to REI for exchange for good old jagwire cable. Mountain biking: as addictive as cocaine, but more expensive! Similar Products Used:
Shimano, Jagwire standard cables, housings

Was hoping for the best and got the worst. I will replace with stock cable housing and return to REI under 100% guarantee satisfaction. Similar Products Used:
