Wait until you get your cables is serious mud. That's where they really shine.<br><br>I rode Gore Ride-On cables when I was in school in New Hampshire and found that they were fantastic in the mud & slush and snow. No matter what the conditions were my shifting was predictable. However now that I live in CA I've opted to go with XTR cables. I tried Ride-On cables again this summer ('09) and thought that the shift quality was only B+. However even after a dusty then muddy 65 mile MTB ride the shifting was still a B+, whereas most of my buddies could barely shift at all. <br><br>Generally I find that I can get A+ shifting from XTR cables, but that after a few long & muddy rides, if I do zero work on my bike the shifting can drop to a B+ or so. If I were doing multi-day adventure races or multi-day epic MTB races, I'd consider the Gore Ride-On cables. But for day to day riding when I can clean my bike after messy rides, I definitely still prefer my XTR cables. Hi Rob,

I ride 12 months a year and in all conditions. I replaced the cables last month when I put new SRAM shifters and a riser bar on, but the rest of the system is the same. The shifting has always been consistent. I'm glad they're making cables again just in case I ever need them! I'm riding on the same Ride-On system that was installed on my bike in March of 2003.

The cables just seem to work like new for years. That is what I am hearing out of a lot of riders. The cables just seem to work like new for years.
