Anyone using these . Very OCP and Weight Weenieish, but so is my new build 
Curious to see if anybody actually notices smoother shifting and braking. Also, what housing are you using? I appreciate any input and/or tips regarding these. Thanks...

A Pain in the ass!!! I installed these on a show bike/ weight weenie we were building for Interbike this year. You can only pinch them at the derailleurs or brakes once, because the houseing gets chewed up and the inner core frays. Mushy brake performance. We used quality housing because it was recomended on the spec sheet we got with the cables. In my mind, not worth the price (and we got ours for free!!!). Weight reductions and OCP points aside, performance is the same or worse than regular teflon coated steel cables.
