Nokon bicycle cable housing is made up of many tiny sections of Aluminium over a Teflon liner. Its supposed to be much more flexible than traditional housing, allowing you to take the cables through tight corners without increasing friction. Eric Zabel's old Telekom bike seemed to even use the stuff to route the derailleur cables from his Dura-Ace levers back underneath the handlebar tape... weird! Its been around awhile but must have remained an underground product. Anybody have any first-hand experience with the stuff?
