Great for externally-routed bikes that see a lot of mud

I was in the market for new inners and outers on my 2x9 Sora gravel bike last summer, and after tearing the bike down, aligning the rear derailleur, and installing these cables, one of the first things I noticed is that the shifting was about as buttery smooth as my Ultegra road bike. It really breathed some life into my gravel bikes lower-mid-range groupset. I've taken it on a couple longer gravel rides in some Minnesota springtime mud, standing puddles in reddish clay that dries like concrete

Pros
  • ‎Jagwire
Cons
  • May not provide a significant performance upgrade for experienced riders who have already fine-tuned their bike shifting

Excellent smooth shifting performance

Installed this kit on my 11 speed mixed group mountain bike, Shimano XTR crank and derailleurs with SRAM XX1 cassette and SRAM XX1 Eagle chain. These cables are so much better then the XTR cables. Silky smooth inner cables and no coating peeling off. Easy to install and set up. Shift lever action is noticeably smother and easier. I swear the bike also shifts smoother now even though I had the rear derailleur dialed in perfectly before but maybe a hair one way or the other smoothed it out more…

Pros
  • Upgrade para mi bike!! Recomendado!
Cons
  • Not suitable for all bike models, limiting its compatibility with certain types of bicycles

This cable is good but the OD of the housing comes in at 5mm. It worked for doing the cable with internal routing on my Santa Cruz but it won't work in my Trek Top Fuel. Busted a knuckle and spent an hour trying to mash it but no dice.

Pros
  • Love the product.
Cons
  • Installation requires technical know-how and may be challenging for amateur cyclists

The only shift cables I run for my race bikes

Fully sealed makes for smooth shifting. Also since sealed they normally last at least one season. You will have to cut the liner just before it enters into the rear mech most times.which is just fine. Comes with plenty of parts for just about any type of setup.

Pros
  • Parts & Components
Cons
  • The three available color options may not suit everyone's aesthetic preferences, limiting its appeal to a narrower market segment
