Post by rynner »

How true. Poor quality cables are a particular beef of mine.
Venhill every time for me.
Here's a pic of front brake cables. The thin one that's crushing at the ferrule is from an autojumble stall and the thicker one is by Venhill. A good quality brake or clutch cable makes a world of difference, particularly to front brake performance.
