Johan Bornman Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) OK, it is the new Dura Ace Polywhassisname-coated cable. Moerava expensive.  This is standard cable, well two types actually. The best of the two is the one with the flattened strands. The cheapie has round strands. Just compare it to the new Dura Ace super slick below. Quite a difference in looks. I can't figure out how the file-like serrations adds to the slickness, but it does.  Edited August 7, 2013 by Johan Bornman
Johan Bornman Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 Just to give a sense of scale, it is 1.2mm thick.
