These cables are solidly built and have lasted me a good while without needing to be replaced yet. The slickness from the factory is a nice touch.

Doesn't stretch, doesn't get mashed and compressed when installing. I do think I felt a difference when I had the teflon coated cables, at least in the initial time after those were installed.

Pros: Solid choice, I prefer Jagwire to other brands.

Cons: Not quite as slick as the teflon coated versions.

They work

I bought new cable and had it installed for both my brakes at Universal Cycles. The cable is housed, so I can't imagine I'll have too many problems with it.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: None

Nice cables at a good price. Much better than galvanized. They are very smooth when also used with Jagwire housing.

Good cables

I've used these cables for several years now, and I'm consistently happy with them. I prefer the MTB or road-specific version because the ends are soldered to prevent fraying during installation.

smooth action

I've installed these on several bikes. The cables really are slick, and the brakes feel smooth and light at the lever. I'm using them with the Jagwire housing. If your levers don't snap back smartly, try these. They will make you smile.

Pros: good value

Perfect compromise of cost and performance

These are a huge step up from galvanized cables and I notice no performance loss over teflon coated cables.

I have never had a jagwire cable break - I tinker long before the cables wear out. I rotate my back cable to the front when I make a change and I still have never outlasted a cable.

Pros: High quality
inexpensive

Cons: None

My go to cables

These are my preferred cable. They are a huge step up from galvanized cables and come in the lengths I need for working on recumbents. Teflon cables do not seem to work any better than these especially if you replace these regularly.

Pros: Best cable value I have found.
Nice improvement over galvanized cables.

Cons: None

Why spend more?

These work fine. You can spend more on fancy sealed systems, but I tinker with my bikes too much to make that a worthwhile investment--if they work any better, which I'm not sure they do.

Pros: You pull the lever and it moves the brakes for you.

Cons: Might be too short for some large frame/drop bar brake combos (like a Fargo)

Jagwire makes really nice cables, they're quite slick, hold together well after cutting, and are just overall great cables. The price is a bit more than others but brakes really aren't somewhere you should be cutting costs. It's really nice that these come with both road and mountain ends.

Pros: well made, both mtn and road ends

Cons: Price

Great product. Not that many choices for Campy brake cables and these are a fraction of the cost and easily work as well as the Campy. They are easy to work with, and are in fact slicker than other options.

Nice tight wrap
