at jenson usa Summary:
These are so nice. They took some time to get set-up but I zip tied everything well and you want to try to keep the sharp bends to a very minimum since that's what causes increased friction and harder braking. Since the stainless tubing has to be cut, use a pipecutter, not a hacksaw, for a precise fit. Then each joint gets covered with heatshrink tubing and seals the whole cable up nicely. Spend the time installing them correctly and you will love them too. Similar Products Used:

These cables work really well, but over time they do get damaged and bent if your a downhiller like i am, that is why i am switching to hydralic brakes. But for a cross country person they work well. Just a little expensive to replace alot. Similar Products Used:

at Price Point Summary:
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! Similar Products Used:

at PricePoint (Price matched) Summary:
Okay. These are hard to install. If you're not a savvy tech, get a friend to help, or pay your LBS to do the job. It's worth the hassle though, because once they're on, they're like the Ronco Rotisserie. Set it, and forget it. The increased performance on the BB7s was really noticable. And - here's my favourite part - couple them with Flak Jacket derailleur cables, and after a nice muddy or sandy ride, just hose the bike down, dry it off, quick chain lube, and you're DONE! Money, money, money all the way. If you own Avid mechs - or ANY mechanical disc brakes for that matter - these babies are a must have. Similar Products Used:
