I replaced all of my cables with this brand. Sealed, lubricated and all stainless. I am very pleased. I messaged the seller and gave them a list of lengths and they combined shipping. Fast delivery.

I just replaced my standard teleflex cables with the 3300 TFXTREME cables, night and day difference, I'm actually going to have to tighten up the resistance on my controls as the cables move so easily, the old cables had so much more resistance. I purchased them from jamestown distributors but they are available at many locations. Definately worth the extra bucks to get the better cables in my opinion, the throttles are so much smoother and the shifters go in and out of gear much easier.
