Transfil Gear Cable Inner
Transfil is situated in the heart of France, at the base of the volcanoes where nature thrives in splendor. This region is also a genuine ground for innovation and know-how.
Deversity of pleasures, diversity of uses, diversity of needs.
For 50 years, Transfil has created, developed, tested and manufactured brake and gear systems for your bike in conformity with the leading bicycle and component manufactures and for every outdoor use : extreme, road and mountain biking.
A cable is composed of an inner core and an outer core. The inner core is composed of one steel thread surrounded by 6 threads making one strand. At this point a simple strand or multi-strand cable can be produced. The composition of a single strand cable is (1+6) + 12 = 19 threads, and a multi-strand is (1+6) x 7 = 49 threads.
Lasers have been set in place to increase production as well as to control the diameter on a permanent basis and in case of any anomalies stop the machine. Each laser sends out the information acquired to a central computer unit where statistics and analysis can be retrieved.

Good value product. You'll be happy with purchase.
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
"These aftermarket cables represent good value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to use them on all but my most expensive race bike or a faithful retro rebuild where I would insist on using a genuine replacement product; and that's just me being pedantic."

A cable is a cable.
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Only if you have plenty of hard cash, buying the standard cabling is acceptable.
Eventually the water, dirt etc will get into your housing so just get the standard, reliable cabling."
