Strengths: Quality, pre-lube, housing and stainless steel cables hold up quite well over time.Weaknesses: Gray only.Bottom Line: Dura Ace brake cable set is top quality. It's pre-lubricated, strong and holds up well over time. It works well with any road group, certainly isn't limited to DA group users. I noted a $20 price, but it can often be bought for less. Shop around. I've paid closer to $12-15 most of the time. These cables are as good or better than some that tend to be more expensive.
This is not a sealed cable system, so is most appropriate for road bikes.
Best cut with proper cable snips, then be sure to square the ends with a file or grinder, then open up the inner liner with something pointy like an awl.
I wish it were available in a variety of colors. Gray is all I've ever seen.
