Review :: Clarks stainless steel, sport brake kit

I purchased this cable set about 2 years ago,and i have put roughly 10,000 miles on it since then. I've replaced the cables a couple times (Routine maintenance/upgraded shifters and ran new cables) but the housing is still original. The housing feels just like it did when i first installed it,despite the mileage. Quite surprising really,considering the whole set is only around $16. I highly recommend using the clarks housing whenever setting up brakes. It's inexpensive,but very durable. You definately get your moneys worth with it. Also i'd like to mention that the cables included,are stainless steel,not some cheap grade steel so they are rust/corrosion resistent,and slide smoothly through the housing. P.S. The housing comes in a variety of colors,including: Red,white,black,blue,green,orange,and pink.

Both sets that i've ran have had casing failure. Both were able to be ridden home on once dropping the air pressure. Flats were not an issue with this tire,neither was grip (I've actually raced on this tire)
