Not to turn this into a VO pile-on,....... but I cannot resist mentioning that the last VO product I bought sure did not impress me.
It might be just their "braided" brake casings, but heck!, what were they thinking making it so stiff so that it could possibly cause enough fatigue to break frame cable guides just from the pressure applied by steering the bike? Tried to soften/limber them up by manually flexing them for long durations over a weekend....and they just started falling apart internally (I could see the braided strands separating and breaking under the clear covering)......and they were still as stiff as twigs from a tree!....Yechh!
Yes they were cheap at 15 bucks a set, but I don't like to be sold cheap.....junk...
