They are xtr. How do you mean light. In action or weight?0 -
Shifters need to shift - the only consideration is how well.I don't do smileys.

Weight buddy,
Seen alternatives now as well looking into I link by Alligator0 -
Weight doesn't really come into it.
Function/cost = value The winner there is what cooldad says.0 -

Now I remember. The weight weenie who just weighs and buys, doesn't actually ride.
And for that reason, I'm out.I don't do smileys.

You must be desperate to save a few grammes if your considering the weight of gear cables. You would save more weight by picking your nose and/or arse before a ride. Have you considered filling your tyres with helium or even better, hydrogen?Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Power Cordz are good, you need to take some time to fit them right, but they do give a lovely light shift when you do it.
I ran mine with I-Links outers, which were good, better than Nokon. They now do Mini I-Links which are lighter too.0 -

Have you got any pics of your set up if still running these ? Also are in your opinion worth the upgrade.
As I ain't seen many peeps running the set up.
Heard issues with the cables fraying or peeps incorrectly installing them may be
I looked at the I links would need extra as my cable routes are around the bb area0 -

I run Nokon's on the road, and very happy with them, so these I-Links must be bloody good...Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
I-links actually click together, unlike Nokons, so they're far easier to install. They're a lot lighter too. Not got any pics with the Power Cordz, not using them at the moment, got a fresh set to fit though, probably wait until spring.
(bad) pic of I-links outer:

I'd go for these!! As they don't seem to be making the SRAM full metal jacket kits I have used for a while now!!!

Goodridge cables & hoses are a waste of money, I have them on my hardtail because they looked nice but there is no benefit to using them.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Many of the sealed kits are heavy too, so it does depend exactly what you're looking to achieve. PowerCordz are insanely light, and if you combine with something like I-Links they're sealed too.0

Cheers guys looking into I link outers, and power cordz cable,
Looking for the best source to buy them.
Njee does the cordz come with a adaptor to prevent the cable from splitting or a different torque setting.0 -
Cheers for your feed back0
