Are the likes of Gore ride on cable sets worth the money, basically are they a worthwhile upgrade.

    Yes i have them on my winter road bike and mtb worth every penny better than the nokon cables on my summer bike.

    I've had a set of brake cables on my Tricross for 18months and not lubed them once, still silky smooth. Looking for another cheap set to come along.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Pro ones (ie fully sealed) yes - 18 months on on the good bike and not one jot of adjustment needed.

    Non Pro ones, no, not really.

    Other equivalent cables are avaialable - ie Jagwire, Nokon, etc etc

    How'd you get a cheap set of these and how can I get a set?

    I grabbed a set from the classifieds here. Admittedly the colour of white wasn't my first choice but as they are the only cables on my bike it doesn't look out of place.
