🔧 Enhanced SHIMANO OT-SP41 Optislick Shifting Cable Set Review

I've been wearing them for a few weeks now. Shifts great, no problems. I used some PTFE oil to help with shifting. The orange is a little lighter than I expected. Like one of those navel oranges in the supermarket.

You may be wondering if these cables are worth the extra cost compared to traditional cables. I said 100% yes in my opinion. This is of great importance. Shifting is noticeably improved, especially when downshifting. These are the only cables I plan to use in the future.

This is the same product that the R8000 switches come with from the factory and is identical to the DuraAce wiring harness without the long sealed spade lugs. When shifting with installed cables, the resistance decreases noticeably. Worth $15 more than the stock stuff.

The cable works well. It's low friction and has a solid feel, but if your bike has drop bars and bar end derailleurs, you may not have enough shell to build a bike. You would think they could contain enough cases to cover the worst case scenario. The length of the internal cable is ok.

Definitely much smoother than the original that came with a track bike. Installation wasn't easy on my bike, which I replaced for the first time. Bit quality of the cable was much better. Definitely stronger and thicker yarn, as well as a smooth surface. And I love the unique orange outer shell.

How do I get there? Any explanation as to why the tips pictured on the website seem self-explanatory, but the tips in my kit make no sense to me. I'm sure there is a way they should work. And I can make that process work, replace them and reuse what I need. ORI, on the other hand, could have simply bought a high-quality cable set. What should I do with the tip? with keycaps? Does this happen with the chainstay adjuster? Why do two of them have little tubes coming out of them? After you install…
