Best-in-Class Cable Upgrade on a Cannondale CAAD13

Описание: In this video, I’m swapping out the Alligator i-Link cables for Shimano Dura-Ace polymer-coated cables, which are widely regarded as the best of the best when it comes to mechanical shifting performance.

While the i-Link cables look interesting, they tend to fall short in real-world shifting consistency. That’s why I chose to go back to what I know works best—smooth, precise, and reliable shifting with Shimano’s polymer-coated cables.

I went with the grey housing so it wouldn’t stand out too much and would blend cleanly with the bike’s blue colorway. I hope you enjoy the video, and feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.
