Revolver Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ali C recommends this super special cable made by shimano that I can't remember, anyway, I'm sure he'll pop in and tell you, probably tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Gusset linear slick cable! The best outer I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter916 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) its pricey but if you can swing it NOKON is amazing I have it on two single speeds, my road bike, cyclocross bike, and now my trials bike Edited January 14, 2010 by Scooter916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The best option is XTR, especially is you're crazy anal. If not, cheap cable and custom cut housing from your bike shop is fine and about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 SP51 does that stuff actually take a proper sized brake inner wire ? as it looks like a pretty decent buy - £20 for 7.6 meters (all that I would ever need in my lifetime...)

aener Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Any chance of selling lengths of it? I don't want 7.6 meters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice chain? It's a belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli P Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) SP51 What is so special about about this cable outer because as far as I can see it is just that it is the larger 5mm but Shimano do a SLR brake cable that is 5mm. Any chance of selling lengths of it? I don't want 7.6 meters If not then your local Halfords can order it in and most bike shops can get it for you.
