Ahn'Qiraj Raider
Shifting on my ti hardtail has been gummy for a bit, so went looking at what new kits Jagwire offers. They have some nice new options, but before ordering another set I thought to do a quick search on Ebay. Glad I did, because I found some NOS GORE cable sets. In the 90's and early 2000's, pre-Jagwire, these were the cable sets to ride. The kits are the shit, because they are 100% sealed, no dust/dirt/water gets in. They come with a XTR/DuraAce quality housing, plastic inner housing that is PTFE lined, then the cables themselves were wound in a PTFE bath. The inner housing runs the entire length, from shifter to derailleur, and they have 0 resistance when routed correctly. The company stopped making them back in 2011 out of nowhere, and I haven't seen them in any shop for forever. Grabbed all three black sets the seller had in stock.
I also found the old Park Tools install article in Calvin's Corner archives from 2009.
