Quick Cable Question
 
Has anyone here bought these cables from Niagara? The price is right for me, but the description is very vague. Would these work on aero and non aero levers?

my guess is that these are basic cables made of galvanized steel strands. i.e. not stainless, and not designed to be low drag.

Aero levers appear to be intended to be used with low drag cables, teflon lined housings, etc. It would probably still function, but not have the feel that you prefer.

I'd recommend trying a cable of this type before investing in a box of 100.

Thanks for the reply. I've been searching all over and that seemed to fit my price range. Now I know why they are so much lower. Aynone have any good deal leads on SS brake cables in bulk? Trying to stay under $100.
