Brake & rear derailleur cables?
Jan 27th, 2012, 6:31am
 
Looking to get some high end or high quality cables for Dave's F5. There are some drag points in his factory set up that are giving him some issues.  Was thinking about shelling out for some GoreRide On cables.  Are there any others we should consider?

It's not a question of mechanical ability, (I grew up in a bike shop and worked my way through college wrenching on bikes).  It's just that I've been out of the industry for over 10 years and there is all this new stuff out there.  Gore Ride On was cutting edge for cables then.
 
With a limited budget we would rather make an educated buy than bounce around to find something that works.
 
Thanks!
