I only buy these cables. I think the coating makes a huge difference in keeping everything smooth. The coating rubs off at the points where housing ends (cable stops on the frame) but this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Works fine. Was relatively easy to install. Cables are always a pain.

Pros: More durable than uncoated. Can replace cable w/o replacing the whole housing if housing isn't totally shot (mbe some experts will tell me this is bad practice...)

Cons: none

Love the Teflon

I have gone to using these cables exclusively. I tend to try to run full housing whenever possible and have never had any problems using these.
I use them on my trail bike, DH, and road bikes. I once had a wrench at the LBS tell me they didn't like them as they "gum up" when running through the BB front der. plastic cable gudes on road frames but I have yet to see this issue during my use.
Two of my three bikes are black. These cables are totally unnoticeable. Stealth.

Pros: smooth shifting, black.

Cons: None. Some of the teflon may rub off down at the rear der area during installation but it is of no use in that area anyway.

Better than non-coated

I always change out my cables annually, but this year I tried the Teflon coating. Not night and day, but better than non coated for ease of shifting.

Pros: Better shifting than standard stainless.

Cons: expensive, for what it is

great cable

I just rewired my shifters using the Ripcord for the second time. I had 4,000 miles on the cables and they were still in good condition with very little of the teflon coating wore off. I previously used Dura-ace wires and would get about 2,000 miles before replacing. I switched to Ripcord due to a Dura-ace rear shifter cable failure which destroyed the 7800 shifter.

Pros: Slick with little to no compression, and they are pre-stretched.

Cons: None after 4,000 on first set and 2,000 on current set.

Pretty slick, so no oil is needed. The teflon rubs off the areas where there is a lot of friction, but they can be oiled in the future. Seems like a durable cable.

Going bulk housing from now on

I have to use continuous housing on my 5 Spot so I got the bulk roll of Shimano 4mm housing from Universal Cycles and these cables. Killer setup, and inexpensive to boot.

Yes, the teflon coating is definitely worth the added price.

A lot less housing is thrown away too.

This is definitely what I'll be doing from now on.

Great cables

Bought a set of these Jagwire cables the other day as a replacemt for my really old ones. Definitely not regretting it. The shifting feels smoother than ever and I know with the Teflon coat these boys will last a good amount of time which means less $$$ from my wallet. Really satisfied with Jagwire in general and will be sure to continue buying them.

Pros: Teflon coating, good price, better than others

Cons: None
