Can I make a vote for Black Snake cables

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/transfil-black-snake-gear-cable-set/

I put a full set (2x10) on my HT when I built it up 2.5 years ago and it still shifts as good now as day 1. Will definitely use them again, if and when they finally die.

Any reasonable cable set like SP41 as above, the finishing touches on the install will get the best out of them. Some cable cutters leave uneven strands once the outer is cut, file these flat. Try and avoid sharp bends in the outer and be careful not to bend the inner when installing (a tiny kink can spoil the shifting).

Always put Middleburn Cable Oilers in the system.
