For Brake – Aican and KCNC Titanium Cables
For Shift – Alligator ilink and powercordz
what would the cost be and what would be the savings ?

You can use the AICAN Bungarus with Powercordz for shift but not for brake.

I was looking at creating the super light Bungarus + Power Cordz combination mentioned in the piece, however in entry for Bungarus in the store the following note caught my eye: “The cable housing becomes slimmed down to 3.8mm from standard 5mm brake housing and can be used with almost all brake cables excluding Power Cordz.” So what’s the deal? Can you or can you not use Power Cordz cables with Bungarus outer’s for either brake or gear application?

The install is easier than the I link, the liner material is much more robust and as the cables use the same internal diameter for both shift and brakes the shifter cables are extremely low friction.. Result… Amazing shifting.
I’ve used I-links for the last 6000kms.. Not only do the Aicans look better they defantly work better, much better.

With the derlin liner and the DLC cables this system should have long life span.. 3-4 times longer than traditional cables. I’d say you need to remove the cables and wipe em down every now and then.. It’s a very tidy system and should last quite a while… The system is very low drag.. I’m very impressed with its performance.

MaLoL every thing on this site is too expensive for you..

You forgot to mention that in both Nokon and Alligator, you can substitute the inner liner and you have brand new housings again. With this new brand, after a while, you will have to change the whole system, and that sounds like too expensive. I will stick to Alligator because of this.

If you would like a Portland,OR winter of water testing on the road, send a set my way and I will volunteer to provide my non-biased input. ;-)

The fittings do seem to be pretty tight although I’m sure in the right conditions water could seep in.

Carol, Andrew, We just put them in stock today :: http://fairwheelbikes.com/aican-m-169.html
