Looks like jag wire no longer makes the black coated brake cables.
They’re weren’t any smoother in the housing than others but seemed to hold up better to Florida humidity and rust than others.
Any one know of another coated campy compatible brake cables?

Thanks

A little time with a file will make any road brake cable campy compatible. Might open up your options a little bit.

Personally, I like the Jagwire Pro or Elite Polished cables over anything but the green coated Shimano cables.

Jagwire Slick Stainless are very anti-rusting and very smooth...

Jagwire Slick Stainless are the way to go. I replaced some polymer coated Shimano cables that had shredded their coating with Jagwire SS.
