Chubba Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Need to get cables for my build and wondering which are the better brake and gear cables to use? Alligator Jagwire Edited August 4, 2011 by Chubba
Chubba Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 How am i supposed to work with that? 2 each!
AndreZA Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 If the choice is just between those two, I'll go Jagwire. Otherwise, get good old Shimano SIS.
Nobody Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Full length is the main criteria. Make sure there is enough hose for both derailleurs or at least make sure you got enough for the rear to be fully closed.

If he is talking about a full system then he must look into Gore Ride-on Professional system.

I have a frame and components that I need to build onto the frame, I need brake cables and derailleur cables. I have nothing at the moment, so I would assume this to be the cable and the housing I require? As per my links?

BTW, is this for road or MTB? You don't need a sealed system for the road.

Mojoman Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 If you are willing to have silver then Buycycle has a special on the Jagwire kit: http://www.buycycle.co.za/buyparts/cable-kits/jagwire-en/jagwire-switch-gear-cable-kit-jagwire.html
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Haha! Now it's 3 each! You're really not winning here, Chubs. If it's any use, I've got the Alligator system on my ride, and one of the ferrules broke clean in half in the derailleur seating. So I had to jimmy-rig an old one so that the cable could carry on operating properly...
