Pros

The optislick have a special coating that helps them go through the tubing better. They are as good as shimano’s more expensive ultegra ptfe coated cables. Very slick and smooth operating. Nice cable coating.

Shifting is noticeably improved especially down shifting. Easy to install and revived the old bike. Worked great to fix my broken shifter cable housing. Only reason i had to order again is because i'm upgrading my drivetrain.
