Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I didn't like them. Seemed to get gummed up/sluggish because teflon coating on cable would come off in the housings...perhaps. Currently using Yokozuna, which are good, but probably not any better different than other quality cables, except of the brake housings, which are the sheot.

I tried Gore. They were fine for a year or so. Then the material started drying out and the cables became brittle and stiff very quickly. Shifts were slow and brakes didn't work smoothly. My experience is its not worth it.
