It firstly didnt like the internal route on the right side, so we had to run the brake on the left. But then there were issues on the internal sheath and compression and splittling links and tightening the brake lever where the bolt also had the hole for the cabling and and and...
-
Ilink cables are just expensive middle class roadie hipster douchebag pointless items of crap. Decathlon cables ftw!
-
In actual fact the main issue was that we were feeding them through TT bars and into the back of a TT lever which is a totally blind operation at the best of times. Trying to push the inner through without losing the outer or it breaking at some mystery location inside the bars was challenging to say the least.
They're still fuck-off pointless tho.
-
But fun!
-
that's why you work backwards, feed the outer through first from stem to barend, then wire the inner through the brake and through the outer correctly, then pull it all tight and fit the lever last.

What Apollo said, and they allow you to have much tighter turns in your cabling. -
This is exactly what we did, but the turn in the cable inside the bars prevented the inner from being pushed through without breaking the links. Led to maximum lolz.
I'm sure like anything you get lovers and haterz and for me i still see them as pointless, they look gash and i've never struggled to get a tight enough radius with a normal cable?

take that back! -
Told you we should have fitted the ice blue one...
-
The way I did it:
- Feed the cable through
- Slide the liner over the cable until it's in position from where the lever will go to the brake caliper
- Slide the outer links over the liner until they are in position, doesn't matter if they are not joined up as the first time you brake they will click into each other
- Tidy up, clamp brake cable, pull brake lever
- Check and adjust
Done- and being compressionless they will be more precise than the Decathlon outers as they won't waste energy/actuation by squashing.
In my experience they worked fantastically with my SRAM Force, for which I used them as both brake and gear outer, but they didn't get on with DA Di2 levers so I swapped to the DuPont outer.

Hi
Have read most of this tread - very entertaining
No one has mentioned this frame
In my humble it appears good value when you look at the weight v cost equation and you can get it in a 63 cm!!!Any one any experience
Thanks
Steve

^this
^^ and thisIain buy something new today so you can update us!
PS - Did you order one of those BB tools yet?
-
fuck!!!
NO!
What was it again?

It also took 3 of us incl laner and OSR to get that damn iLink cable on. And its still not completed.

They way I'm going to do it:
- Pay Digger monies
- Sit back
Done.

If you were trying to fit them with a hammer then you might have experienced some challenges
