Never used it. I've been really happy with Jagwire and VO housing.

Spend a few cents more and get some decent lined brake housing from Niagara or even your LBS.

It must be a lot better that the product in their kit (which I tried on a flip and promptly removed).

not sure what the kit is but the walmart kit I saw was a bell product.cables usable but the housing is trash. the promax housing is as good as the lbs will sell you for $2.50 a foot. you will not be disappointed in this purchase
infact its a dirty little secret the lbs does not want you to know. at around 8 or 9 feet per bike do the math. even the inner cables are a good deal but 100 ct. box thats a lifetime supply for me
