Hey all......

Ive had generally bad luck with shifting cables recently.. they seem to fray and foul around the point where they they meet the the Ferrules - does anyone have a good cable ferrules combo that has worked for them?

I use Clarks, tried someTransfil ones that had teflon coated cables but the cables were crap. The outers and ferrules are good thought so just replaced the cables with Clarks one.

Wierd they're fraying at the ferrule as that should be pushed snug all the way onto the outer with no room for movement?

My cables are frayed at the cable clamps on the mech but thats because i did them up too tight LOL

I use Goodridge gear cables and they seem to be really good!

I really like these or Jagwire.
I bought a jagwire set in decathlon forĀ£7.99 with two lots of cable and long enough outer for most bikes to do front and rear. :high5:
