Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

PBK Cables

Anyone have any experience with PBK's cables?

I have some Yokozuna cables on order but they are back ordered and I just want something cheap to throw on the bike while I wait. Any other suggestions for cheap cables to put on the bike?

I keep a few sets as cheap back-ups in the cabinet. Not my first choice, but I wouldn't have any concern with them either.

they're good if you have shimano or MTB. If you have campy they don't seem to carry that cable end.
