The part never showed up - even though the third time that I called, I offered to pay for the shipping. So half the cable set is not usable because of a small plastic part. Similar Products Used:

at Freewheel cycles (Valencia) Summary:
Don't buy these go for XTR Shimano Cables you can get those cheaper then these rip off cables. I was in a rush to get them that's why I had to get a set, BIG MISTAKE SAVE YOUR $ get better ones. I recommend XTR cables very nice, even though some of the XTR parts break, I won't comment to many to name. Similar Products Used:
XTR Shimano Cables, and Ride-On Gore Tex cables.

at performance bike Summary:
I have used these cables many times over and over only because they are the best cables performance bike sells, and I get free coupons for thier store. However, they don't last long at all. the housing has this really thick metal casing, that is hard to cut clean. Every time you cut it, the inner lining is kinked. The furruncles will not keep water out of the housing, so it will rust. These cables will work great for 2 months. Then they will cease and not work at all. Replacement every 2-4 months.

at Jenson USA Summary:
These are good quality cable and housing sets, but I hesitate to call them a real upgrade. They are a little smoother than regular cable sets, but not worth the amount I paid. Gore's sets are the best I have used, but they are extremely pricey. I would either stick with stock cables and housing, or take the big plunge and go with Gores. As mentioned above, they don't supply enough brake housing for a disc-brake set-up. Similar Products Used:
Stock Shimano, generics, Gore Ride-On.

at Cycology Summary:
Building up a new bike and thought I'd try some trick cables. Bike shop recommended these Delta Aztec cables. I Installed but came up short on the brake cable, because of the additonal cable needed to go all the way down to the calipers on the discs. I emailed Delta and they sent me the additonal piece of cable needed at no charge. Yes cut the cable with a moto-tool if you have one. The Park tool cable cutters also work but you have to clean up the end of the cable with a file if you don't have one of the little whiners. Also ream the end openning of the cable to round out the inner housing after you cut it. You have to do this on the cheapo cables too if you want clean performance. Three or four rides on the new cables and they work great. so far. If they stiffen up I'll re-submit. They deserve the full boat for the customer service alone. Similar Products Used:
Stock Shimano XTR cables and generic cheapo cables
