5.0 out of 5 stars XTR Brake Cables Changed My Life!, August 2, 2011

This review is from: Shimano XTR stainless brake cable, 1.6x1700mm (Misc.)

Before I purchased my XTR Brake Cables I didn't go out as much. I was self-conscious about what people were saying about my regular steel cables. A friend worried about me and tried get me out of the house to be more social. He had set up a date for me and his girlfriend's roommate but, on the way downtown to pick her up, my old brake cables had seized in their cable housing! I had already built up my speed before I knew, and went barreling through a crowed local farmers market! I can't believe that I was able to not hit anyone, but inevitably, I put my front wheel into the side of a vegetable cart and did a superman right into a pile of fresh and juicy tomatoes! After paying the local farmer for all the tomatoes that I pulverized, and was now wearing as a suit, I was so embarrassed that I went home without even calling to say why I didn't show up.

Eventually I found myself on Amazon.com when I ran into XTR Stainless Steel Brake Cables. I immediately purchased a set and the moment that I installed them I felt better about myself. I no longer felt like I had something to hide. I felt capable. I felt empowered! I called up that girl again and we went out for a nice seafood dinner.
