[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 108728, member: 2708"] Their Featherlight cables have a stainless steel inner and a Teflon lined outer with silver soldered ends. These are the best cables you can use and they last. No need for lube, no hygroscopic problem ( nylon liners have that) and the most slippery cables you'll find. Clutch pull on one stiff clutch went from 21lbs pull with freshly lubed standard cable to 13 pounds just by switching to a Venhills Featherlight. The stainless on Teflon is magic. I had them make up custom Featherlight Throttle and brake cables for the Rapide. Nice stuff. I doubt I will ever need to replace it Ive also made up a number of cables from their universal component kits. These are galvanized inner rather than stainless so they aren't quite on par with the Featherlight. I would give Venhills another go, maybe the poor service was a one off. Shame to miss out on such quality products. Glen [/QUOTE]
