I'm sure this has been covered many times before, but does anyone have any particular opinions about the various cable options? I've always used the official shimano kits, but I like to buy in bulk and am looking at other choices. Am I missing something by not going for the Gore, etc?

I like to run Jagwire Racer cable sets when I replace OEM. I used Nokon on mt MTB, but I didn't care for them and went with Flak Jackets for mech. discs. Never used Gore.

tim-pal, I don't want to rain on your parade. This is strictly my personal experience. For eight straight years now, I have bought the "kit" from walmart for $4.83. Zero problem. Zero. None. :D It's so cheap, I overhaul the whole thing twice a year....not that I need to.
