CurtisRider Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 linear slick for sure, mines are great, if you can stretch to it, get a nokon as they are fookin immense, i run 1 on my front disc, soon gonna get another set so i can run them on my mod :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod_rider Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Got a linear slick on my bmx, and it's a great cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve bain Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) would the slick not be better than the linear slick as you can get it in 1.8 mm and its cheaper? would the extra .3mm make a difference? edit: how about the snafu astorglide too from here... http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/?1FaNQtiXw9p...G3Gk1NQ7RdHAZI= Edited July 20, 2005 by steve bain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 XTR is pretty damn good, its pre stretched, so it doesnt feel like an elastic band like some others ive tried. comes in at a tenner for a full set with enough to route full outer to the back brake twice. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1596 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott-mad Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 ive got xtr ones on my avid disk and can say they are the slickest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 What about using decent gear outer cable? with a slick inner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 What about using decent gear outer cable? with a slick inner? ← but gear cables are thinner so a brake cable wont fit in a gear outer surely? ive never tried it though so i could be wrong....

Guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 The only difference between a linear slick and a normal cable is the outer, the inner is exactly the same as any old thing I think, it's just the outer is braided in some way so it has a very low compression rate at the lever.
