Jagwire Pro 'racer full cable pack
« on: 13 April, 2018, 09:50:52 am »
Just picked up two, one in celeste and one in orange for just £15 each from my lbs.  I couldn't bring myself to buying the slightly fluorescent looking pink set but I can go and pick them up if anybody wants them.

With outer, wires cable ends etc. They seem to be good value imo.

Are the inners smooth if you run a fingernail along them?  Shimano cables are drawn after winding, to smooth them out.  It makes a fair bit of difference to overall system friction.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

You can feel the contours of the cable but the surface is smooth.  Very smooth.

Bargain compared to RRP. IIRC that's below dealer cost.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

I note that pink is not listed so perhaps it was red but the light deceived me and my rather crappy eyes.   :-\

They used to make pink - my understanding is that "Racer" was the previous name, which has now been replaced by "Road Pro" which is the same product, but with the name change they've changed some of the colours too. That's a very good price! :thumbsup:

Yup.  It's that packaging.
