Cable outers - who makes these ? [Modern]

[FluffyChicken]

I was just looking a the world of new bikes,
Orange are bringing (I assume) out the R8 which looks nice, but who makes the cables/outers ?

and are they any good ?

They look like Transfil flying snakes : http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Trans ... 110000355/

Although your pic doesn't have the inner liner sleeve over the inner cables.

Supposed to be pretty good, especially at keeping crap out of the cables.

They look to be Goodridge braided,you can get them from CRC

when i was working on them the pro models had jagwire outers (the sport models had normal shimano) and they look exactly the same as those. apparently they don't compress as much as normal outer so therefore your gears don't suffer from bedding in problems as much and stay tuned for longer.

FluffyChicken.....jagwire makes the ferrlues......but that's a set of the Avid Flak Jacket housing/cables.

it's gimmick central. they have a second shield that supposed to go over the exposed cable but there are many faults. in the pic....it looks like they left the red covers off.

i used to use them from the first versions to the more recent....they a total gimmick.

Yep, Avid Flackjackets
Used them lots, no better than any other outer, just the colour suited the bike obviously (without the gash red outer things.)

I like the look of that R8. Shame it shares it's name with a footballer's Audi :roll:
