I need to replace gear and brakes cables. I looked on the web and seem to be spoilt for choice and price. Its been a long time since I bought any so am not sure whats what these days. brakes and mechs are dura-ace (8 speed) so I would like some better quality ones. any suggestions?

    transfil ones are ok, plus they do complete packs with all the bits...

    I quite like the transfil ones too and the price is not ridiculous.

    Gore are often recommended but I've never stumped up the cash for them.

    I switched to Gore Ride-On Professional cables because I was worried about the internal cable routing on my new frame and wated the fully lined / sealed system. They are a daft price, but the improvement on the standard Campag is noticeable, for the gear changes at least. Gear changes feel slicker and lighter.

    Can't go wrong with Jagwire racer sets. They even now come with Teflon coated cables.

    Really good quality and can be had for about £25 on flea bay.
