<\/a><\/div>\n

Back in the early spring I put SRAM Pitstop Flak Jacket Cable Housing on my cross bike<\/a>. I liked how well it worked on the Avid road BB7 cable discs on my cx bike that I put it on my mountain bike too. <\/p>\n

After months of use on my cross and mountain bikes, both with Avid BB7 disc brakes, I can say these things rock.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
 The cables are high quality with minimal compression and have ferruls that have rubber seals and protrude through the cable stop about an inch to fit a plastic cover over. This is what keeps all the mud and water out. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

 Not only do I ride in mud and rain, but I wash my bike with a hose after almost every ride. I am not miss shifting or getting that hard-to-push-the-shifter cable drag feel you get with normal cables and housing after moisture\/mud gets in. <\/p>\n

They cost a bit more than regular cables, but they will pay for themselves since you can leave them on much longer.<\/p>\n

Totally worth it.<\/p>\n
