AndreZA Posted August 5, 2011 Share If the choice is just between those two, I'll go Jagwire. Otherwise, get good old Shimano SIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 5, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is talking about cables. Housing is a totally different thing. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, is this for road or MTB? You don't need a sealed system for the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted August 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 5, 2011 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
