Some skill required but otherwise perfect

Fantastic price and finish. After watching a few installation videos on Youtube I found them pretty easy. I've crimped with bolt cutters and in my opinion the visibility is excellent. Of course, a flatter curve looks better, but who tests at this level. These sleeves are quite thin and streamlined. And by the way, the bolt cutters hold! I measured my 1st wire wrong and thought maybe I could knock out the crimp. No way! I have tried everything and this cable does not come out. Since I had limited cord, I took a Dremel with a cutting wheel and cut the grommet to get the cord out. These things are bulletproof. Next time I'll take an extra cable! However . The only thing I would like the manufacturer to provide (besides a wrench) is a chart showing how cable length is measured based on span and strain. It was a bit of trial and error but I managed on the 2nd. For the 12 foot span I cut my cable 1.25 inches which allowed my screws to penetrate the rack with zero threads and strings under tension. Finally, a YouTuber gave great advice. If you have 7 pieces of cable. Do the rest first so you have more room to tighten the screws without hitting the top and bottom rails. And most importantly, pre-drill the holes with the crimping screws installed in the drill. making the cocking process go smoother!You'll be glad you did.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
