Blake Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Are these going to offer pretty much the same thing if i'm not doing barspins/whips? The only difference is different ferules and the way the outer cable is put together. However I'm a cheap arse and would rather spend £4 than £10 Link to slic Link to Linear Slic For reference: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Linear cable housings compress less than standard spiral types, so should give a more solid feel to the brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Linear on back, regular on front. In my experience decent mtb ones are good for the front. XTRs can be flexy is long, but soooo lush to pull with. Even if not doing spinbar moves, the stiffness of the linear will help with overall stiffness, surprisingly? Even if you just run the outer, a decent stainless cable will be fine once lubed. Some come with teflon coatings and such, but aren't worth it imo as before the cable degrades you'll be switching them out for safety reasons.

marshole82 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 was thinking of Lin SLICs front and back - so back for definate if theyre stiffer as i dont have a dedicated rear cable guide so this will be pretty helpful. i used to run XTR cabling on an old mtb, brakes felt really solid - recommended then?
