Torelli Housing, Whats your take?

[AzSpeedfreek]

Has anyone used Torelli shifter housing? I have mainly only used Shimano or Bontrager, but I just saw that the Torelli is available in a few different colors such as green. So what are some thoughts on this housing?

It works and I have green. Not cheap.

How does it hold up compared to Shimano?

How pricy is the Torelli housing?

I don't remember seeing green, but the Jagwire shifter housing comes in a bunch of colors and is only around $25 for a 25ft roll. I don't remember hearing anything bad about it before

MUCH more, though I have only seen the wholesale prices. The Torrelli is a brake/shift housing similar to Ripcord and is priced close to that.

I am using it for brakes and derailleurs on a couple of bikes.

Az, I have not been using it long enough to compare durability.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I forgot how much more Ripcord is over the standard housing

What are/were you first impressions? How long have you been using it for? What kind of conditions are you using it in? What is your opinion so far?

First impression: the steel braid is a PITA to cut and cap!

Other than that, it works and I do not think about it.

Does it have a braid similar to a hydro brake line? What did you find that cut it the best?

No idea. I used very sharp side cutters.
