About the Transfil brand

Transfil is a quiet giant of a company. Suppliers of control cables to the French car industry, Transfil also produces inner wires and outer cables for bicycles. The original gear or brake K.ble sets were surpassed by the more upmarket Black Snake compressionless system with a Teflon coated jacket, resistant to water, mud and sand. Then followed the Flying Snake with watertight carbon/ Kevlar outer casing weighing 30% less than the K.ble set. The very latest Nox Snake has a white carbon outer casing with Teflon coated inner tubing. These sets are MTB or road bike compatible.

Transfil Black Snake Brake Cable Set is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 28.
Rated 5 out of 5 by roadmamil from Smooth operating cables I replaced the brake and gear cables on my Defy 1 (105 10 speed) using transfil products. Massive improvement over the standard cables with smoother and lighter action.

Rated 1 out of 5 by dazzyb2k3 from Poor Quality Was looking for a cable kit with good quality teflon inners. This isn't it. Half the teflon coating had already peeled off in the packet and the rest just flaked off in my hands when i uncoiled the cables. I have no faith that these will last. Also not much outer. Will keep tham as backups but will not fit to my bike. Cheap and nasty. Do yourself a favour and get Jagwire cables instead. Far superior in every way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SpeedyB from Good value I like this product. The inner cable does not rust. So I will not need to replace it.

Are the inners Stainless Steel?

Are the inners Stainless Steel? If not will they eventually rust despite the Teflon coating?
Asked by: boulmerboy
The cable does not rust. I use this cable and I do not foresee when I will need to replace it.
