Kevin,

thanks for sharing that fact… anyone in a salty environment should take this into account. Hopefully it’s just the cosmetics that have suffered.

No doubt these are very cool well functioning cables. Only problem seems to be rusting of the spiral in the brake housing. This may only be a issue here in Hawaii where the salt air wrecks most metals.

Utilitarian silver/gray only. It’s a shame they’d sell more if they had white and black options.

“I’d love see a photo of those cables on your bike” “sounds like your going to need all that rapha wear”. For the sake of coolness, which you have in spades, the comments are getting TOO Michael/Rapha love and it detracts from your skill.

Sounds like you’re going to need all that Rapha wear on your trip! Have fun and stay warm.

Hi Jordan,

You’re fine using the images that way. Glad to hear cycling has had a big positive impact on your life (mine too). I’m off to chilly Toronto for a few days but will try and post a more representative photo of the cables on the bike soon.
thanks

I’d love to see a photo of these cables on your bike! I also wrote up a blog post on my site about yours and shared a few of your images. If you want me to remove them I can. Was trying to bring attn to your site and your amazing images.

I rode Nokon cables with my Campy Chorus for about 18 months and thought they were great. Didn’t have to make an adjustment to the gear cables once. They’re not exactly big on packaging either but that is quickly forgotten. I’m speccing a new bike now and I’ll certainly be investigating the ‘after-market’ cable scene again.
