Jagwire

[Guest Iron]

Does anyone know who the agents in SA for Jagwire are ? <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I think it is Cape Cycles. But my LBS recommended to me not use it as it is crap.

Thanks , But did they give a better reason than " its crap "or why?

All our Giant branded cables and caps are Jagwire.

the housing is too stiff and the inside does not last long AND it is expensive.

I've used Jagwire disc pads, they're OK and are cheap. For general training they're fine but if you need decent stopping power one needs to use a decent make (I've found Swisstop to be good).

Mampara , thanks , will take my chances.

Sorry but we only do the black. Giant does not offer the colour cables as after market items.

Ghostface, then i dont think you are the Jagwire agents as i found them today all colours all sets ( as seen on there website ). So who is bring them in?

[Ghostface]

I never said we were the Jagwire agents. I said our Giant branded cables are made by Jagwire.

ahhh, was just under the impresion you are as people mentioned that Cape cycles were the right ones to contact . Presumption is a bad thing.

agree with Mampara

my LBS told me the same about jagwire, i moved from jagwire to Aligator wich in my opinion is much better, has a teflon coating on the inside and seems to me alot more durable

[Guest Iron]

Face Plant , thanks ,will look into Aligator too then.

I work for Dragons Sports. I don't think you'll find anyone bringing in the colour cables. The minimum orders that have to be placed with Taiwan/China are usually pretty large, takes ages to get shipped over to here and usually don't sell that well or fast enough. Smaller "niche" items like this are always hard to find.

 

Alligator is your best bet for colour cable and they are pretty good. They are on TheHub somewhere, so someone should have their details.
